@LlamaMountainStudioArts @Smersh It's not crazy to ask--folks build and adapt IT devices all the time. The adapter/drive approach or using a data recovery agency are likely the more realistic options.
Anyone else seen that episode of "Halt and Catch Fire" where they do a manual data recovery? Yikes.
@MHS_Jenkins @LlamaMountainStudioArts @Smersh with a little quartz and a good microscope data recovery can be a big (BIG) simple problem. Just read the divots. One.bit.at.a.time
