I recently came across a couple of old 100MB Iomega Zip disks that I used in the 90s, which I assume to be HFS format. I don't have a drive that can read them anymore, so I'm wondering if anyone here has used a data recovery/transfer service to get data off of these disks. I'm not totally sure what's on the disks, so ideally I'd like to get full disk images in some form that preserves all the Mac OS resource fork data and file system metadata. I found a couple of services that offer data transfer to CDs, but didn't really see any indications that they understand how to deal with the oddities of preserving classic Mac file data.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! | Posted by: cheesestraws on 2021-10-10 01:50:07
At that point I'd probably be looking at getting a USB zip drive off ebay and imaging them myself, honestly: the drive will probably be cheaper than paying someone else to do data transfer, and you'll be able to test the resulting images by whacking them into an emulator. | | 1 |
