First, continue to resist that urge. You don't need any more unknowns. You know you have a hardware problem, and software isn't going to fix it. Is there nothing else on the SCSI bus but the controller and the CD drive? If all the other disk drives work, that points to the CD drive, but if there are no other disk drives, then it could be either. About all you can do is replace the cheaper one first. Take a close look at the cables and terminators, too. Any idea what killed the power supply?
