depending on what broke, you may be able to sell other parts on e-bay.

You may even be able to resurrect it, depending on the problem.

Visual inspection for broken solder joints, burnt components and a bit of multimetering around can go a long way.

Just a thought, some people have been able to connect a ipod up to 3.5 drives. www.command-tab.com/2005/03/13/ipod-super/
