[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1595488, member: 175845"] Personally I'd suggest that your'e spending your time and resources for a "make work" project, that may not even work if and when you recover the data you want. Also we have no idea of what software application was used to create the data, and to compound the problem, many applications of that era used both data and resource forks, both of which could hold specific data. What are you planning to use to access the data if and when you recover the data? I'd try a different route and try Googling on 'Macs with scsi drives' etc. and then use some of the suggestions from some of the hits such as: [url=http://www.macworld.com/article/2149163/how-to-recover-data-from-an-old-scsi-drive.html]How to recover data from an old SCSI drive | Macworld[/url] I've been there, done that sort of operation and it can be a hassle, and I've still got old working PPC Macs that I can and have used. Complete with communication and USB ports etc., and old Data Vis translators and applicable software etc. Just saying... :D [/QUOTE]
