Thanks Ethan and Dave McG! I suspected it would turn into a bit of
forensics and sleuthing...which makes it more fun, even if it's a bit
more work :)
I have a lot of drives laying around that are totally unknown, either
because I bought/received them as spare parts or they were (foolishly)
removed from a machine that is now gone. I'd bet I've got IRIX,
SunOS, Solaris, Amiga, Mac, DOS, HP/UX, VMS (those are kind of easier
to spot)...the list goes on.
Someday I'd like to offer data recovery as a paid service. Sounds
like I've got a lot of practicing to do :)
