I can see was his imaging machine that had a bunch of different floppy cards in it. Sellam
gave that
machine to me a couple of years ago, but the disk was too small to have stored the
collection.
There was a 386 with a Maxtor ESDI out there, but it appears to have been wiped. Like I
said, I hope
the relatives still have some newer machines.
Thinking about it, I haven't tried a low-level dump of the Maxstor yet. That would be
a bit of a hassle
to set up for.
Just a
thought, but did he use Linux or BSD? If so, maybe he maintained his collection of files
via DOSEMU?
I think he was a bit old school for that but, who knows ;)
