Oh dear, that sounds like a drive that's "beyond repair"
even for Tony Duell :-)

I have to report that I did buy a Mac external disk drive
at a car boot sale for three quid. One of the useful
skills for the car boot enthusiast is the ability to spot a
rare and valuable artifact at twenty paces, then buy it
without giving the seller any hints that might cause them
to jack the price up...

Anyway, keep searching the car boot sales, PC shop
junk-boxes and charity shops! You'll find one, eventually!
