Hello all,
I know someone who wants to recover data from one of these 10MB disk packs. They have no
drive, no RLV12 controller and (unsurprisingly) no PDP-11.
I haven?t seen the disk pack in question so I have absolutely no idea of the condition
although I am led to believe it has been looked after, stored properly and doesn?t have a
crash...! Of course the pack owner has no idea of the data they?re after (whether it be
ASCII, EBCDIC, binary etc..) so that?s another unknown quantity!
Is there anyone here who is able to assist with this? Maybe initially to produce a binary
image of the disk for further exploration? If yes, (how much) would you charge for this
service?
Many thanks
Robin

Hi Robin,
it depends where you are!
I can recover data from a pack in the UK, as can a few others on here.
Regards
Jim.
