We had what appears to be a crash on a large (704Mb formatted) Winchester disk containing 4.2BSD Unix file systems. The manufacturer is willing to make an attempt to recover the data. However, as I understand it, the probability of his succeeding is fairly small, since the timing/servo track seems to be damaged. Does anyone know of any firms willing to undertake heroic measures to recover data from Winchester disks? Our backup was not so recent as we would have liked, and we would be willing to pay a substantial amount for a successful recovery. Please reply directly to me, boyle@anl-mcs.arpa (...!berkeley!anlams!boyle) as I am not on the unix-wizards list. Thanks. Jim Boyle Math & Computer Science Div. Argonne Nat'l Lab
