I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a program for the mac to retreive files from a damage disk on the MAC. A friend of mine recently lost all her legal files from her MAC SE which seemed to have ruin her disk. I know this is an ST newsgrp, but many of the st owners have mac emulators, perhaps those who know can assist. Another Problem, ST HD. I have been getting continous vertical shifting on my monochrome moniter everytime my HardDisk ran consistently reading or writting. After the HardDisk stops my moniter still continues to be vertically shifting. It only happens on the mono moniter not on the color moniter. I am running a ICD adapter with a Adaptec 4070A. So far to solve the problem, I allways have to shut of the ST and reboot again. My dealer tech. said the frequency on the mono had something to do with it since the color had no problem. IF anyone knows how to solve these problems please let me know. Thank You. chuj@spot.colorado.edu

This is a well documented problem with the new cable that ICD is including with their host adaptors (DMA cable, from HD to computer). You need to call ICD and ask for a new cable, which they will send for free. This seems to happen only to some machines (or so ICD told me). It is a shame, since this cable looks much nicer than the older ones (one of which they will send you to fix the problem). Ah well, it's behind the machine anyway . . . -- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey R.

Mmm, for your first problem, try Norton Utilities, if that can't help you,
take it too an Apple dealer with some sort of knowledge of data recovery
methods, your friend might not be able to get all her stuff off the damaged
disk, but some is better than none!
As for your hard drive problem, I have read about people who have similair
problems with usually have the hard drive near the computer, OR have an
extended monitor cable, or a memory upgrade which they had to remove the
shielding from their computer.
Either that it seems like your getting an echo, perhaps on your power line
from both the computerand monitor. Try plugging in an ISOBAR or seperate
the computer and your peripherals on different circuits.
I hope this helps...

I use a program called 'SUM disk clinic' - I'm not sure if it's pd or commercial - it came with a GCC technologies hard drive
