[Coco] Blog about rescuing a RLL hard drive

[Bill Pierce]

Ridk, that was pretty cool!
I went through something similar a couple of years ago getting files off an MFM (B&B) drive that would only run for a few minutes then get hot and shut down. It wouldn't run gain until it cooled. It took me 2 weeks to get everything off that drive, but I got everything but a few corrupt files :-)

All -

Over the summer, I spent a fair bit of time rescuing files off an old
RLL/OS9 hard drive. I finally got around to blogging about the experience,
and I thought you all might be interested.

Also, if you see anything wrong in there, please let me know!

Enjoy (and I hope it helps someone)!
