I got a new drive (well, to me at least). It was from an XT clone, and
works great. When I took the fried one apart, I found out that the spindle
bearing was rusted, so I took the heads, motor, and everything else that
looked good out, and junked the rest.

I have the schematics for that drive (both in the Tandy and IBM tech
manuals). So I could probably identify the burnt components. What chips
are they near (either type - like NE592, or circuit reference - like U1).
Burnt traces can be repaired - I do it all the time....
