Recovering data from a Classic II HDD ?

Posted by: JonP on 2020-01-27 02:53:26 Hi all, Currently bringing a tired Classic II with an ill HDD back to life.  The drive now spins / seeks (after some TLC), is recognised as a SCSI device (#0) but cannot read / recover any data off of it (via Disk Tools or Norton Disk Doctor); don't know whether it is corrupted or has been wiped in the past.   I'm planning to re-format the drive but am interested to see if anything can be pulled back at all - can anyone recommend tooling beyond Disk Tools / Norton Disk Doctor ??? The attached image shows what NDD thinks of it! Cheers in advance!
