A friend of mine uses an Atari 1040 ST as a POS terminal in her business. I don't know the full story, but for some reason the hard disk was reformatted by an employee. The disk had her customer mailing list, inventory, etc. on it. They tell me the drive was backed up first using a program called FLASHBACK. But the copy of FLASHBACK on the hard drive is gone. 1) Anyway to "unformat" the hard drive? 2) Anywhere to get FLASHBACK or a compatible to restore the drive? Failing these, there is a program called RWALL.ZIP in IBMHW forum on Compuserve that says it lets a PC read and write ST disks. Could the backup up disks be read onto a PC and the customer data extracted into ASCII files somehow? P.S.: I am completely unfamiliar with Atari machines, but familiar with IBM and compatibles. thanx terry
