Wanted: IBM Deskstar 46.1 GB hard drive logic board info

I need a logic board for a Dell OEM IBM Deskstar DTLA-304075, Sept
2000. I found one on ebay that was not Dell, made Aug 2000. From the
pictures, the boards look nearly identical (one chip is from a
different manufacturer).
Here's the question. The Dell says "LBA 88,265,520 SECTORS".
The Ebay one says "LBA 90,269,840 SECTORS". Could it still work?
Thanks,

As to the LBA difference, yes, size is not important. HW/FW revision is.
Your chances grow if it is of the same or close HW/FW revision (compare stickers).


Thanks,

You need the same firmware rev and same capacity. Thats all :O)
