Theres a few different types of rails the 600's used. Can you take a picture of the ones you have, and post it? You can use a site like www.stashbox.org to host the image, they will provide a forum code to paste it.

Here's what they look like:
They're marked "T" (top) and "B" (bottom), since the drives are tilted onto their side and then slid in from the front.
I actually only need 1 "B" rail, since that's what's missing, but I figure they're only sold as pairs.
A ReadyNAS 600B was just acquired. I found this page looking for spec sheets, but the spec link seem to be dead for the 600. Although it seems to function well, I am anticipating, that the 600 will need a power supply at some point. The case also has some severe dents. Just looking for parts that I might need since it is not supported any longer.
I was successful at updating the RAIDiator firmware to the latest release 4.1.6. It currently has four Seagate 250Mb disk drives running raid five. It does take up more space than my NV+, but will be moved to the garage where that doesn't matter and used for backup.
I understand your reluctance to try the "replacement" part. I would try to verify this is the correct replacement, either by contacting the manufacturer of the monitor, or by checking the spec sheets on the original and replacement ICs.
On many occasions I have been given replacement parts which were not identical to the originals. In some cases, this was because the original was no longer available, in others because of a design change (usually brought about by a high failure rate of the original component). In every case, this was accompanied by a set of instructions showing how to make the substitution. Without such instructions, I would be very reluctant to try the substitute part.
