I have a couple Macintosh external drives that aren't working properly. Would it be the right venue to bring them to VCF East to the class? Or should I wait for a repair workshop?
Thanks, Eric, chesapeaketechie @...
I deal in Apple Macintosh SCSI drives. I (and others here) can give you some hints about making these run a while longer. Contact me after VCF-East and say hello at the show! I'll be a vendor. Herb PS: I'm a little busy with VCF-E prep, to follow these drive repair/art discussions. Glad people care! There's a lot of work going on in hard-drive recovery. David Gesswein is very modest about his MFM emulator; it's extracting good data from bad drives, and David et al are working hard to support oddball drive controllers's oddball formats. Dave McGuire talks about servo tracks... I have buddies struggling with those on 8-inch hard drives. This is how engineers do vintage computing. Makes me hungry for silicon and iron oxide ....
