Hello gurus!

I have a fried Logic Board from a Maxtor DiamondMax VL 40, 30 GB IDE with the following characteristics:
Model: 33073H3
HDA: 13A
PCBA: 03A
Unique: 11A
Code: YAH814Y0
and C,M,B,A just between a code bar and S/N.
Now i found a Logic board with the same characteristics but with different letter codes. It says N,M,B,E .
I do not know what this letters stand for. Do you think that the Logic board will work with my HDD?

Please help
Thanks, and Merry Xmas
Pedro.
