"Imaging" a MFM drive?

Hello, I have an old MFM drive (MiniScribe 8425) hooked up to a Xebec 1210C 8-bit ISA controller, pulled out of my Amiga 1060 sidecar, which used to be the system drive for my A1000 (still in fine shape, thank you, though the sidecar sadly isn't). The drive ought to have a 5Meg DOS partition and the rest Amiga formatted. Out of nostalgia and curiosity, I'd like to attempt to "image" the drive, to see if I can get at the old Amiga files. Any idea how this might be possible? I can get a hold of a 1998-era PC, mainly PCI but still with a single 16-bit ISA slot - but I have no idea if there is any software that can then get the bits off the drive. ISTR that the xd driver in linux was broken or removed, or is the card WD100x compatible? Can NetBSD talk to it? Will the 8-bit BIOS on the card work in a Celeron class machine? If somehow I find a sufficiently old PC, how can I get the data off the non-MS-DOS partition? FWIW, if you're in the Montreal/Ottawa region, and you can make an image of the drive for me, you can keep the controller and the card for your collection, and I could even give you a Sidecar with or without Amiga 1000 for your troubles :-) It is of course quite possible that both the controller and/or the drive have gone to silicon heaven, and might make nice wall decorations. Joe. PS. I'm thinking a A2000 with A2086 card would probably be a good way to get at the data. I have neither, only an A3000. -- Joachim Thiemann :: http://www.tsp.ece.mcgill.ca/~jthiem
