Subject: [cctalk] ST-251 Data Recovery for Glenside Color Computer Club (GCCC)
At the most recent CoCoFEST!, I brought home the old Glenside Club Computer
Hard Drive. The mechanism is an ST-251, and I was wondering if someone on-
list would be willing to attempt to pull data off the drive.
I have no ability to configure to read this drive type, and the data is not precious
or anything, I just though we should try to pull it off for historical sake. I was not
in the club when teh drive was in use, so I do not know what could be on it. I
assume BBS data, but it could be anything.
Happy to post to someone who wants to give it a go. If the drive needs to be
destroyed to get the data, or if attempting to read the data destroys the drive, I
will not hold anyone responsible. I don't even need the drive back, just data if it
is recoverable.
Jim
