Recovering drives, as in, getting the data off unknown Mac hard
drives? If you want, I can bring along stuff to image them - convert
to a file on a PC which you can then mount and pull files out of or
use in an emulator. Making a full block image of a drive is a great
way to preserve it and ensure you can get whatever you need out of it.
Or are you just trying to get drives working with a Mac?
