I recently discovered some 50 odd floppies which survived, and a couple old 5" hard drives - so I'm hopeful! I assume most of the data will be pretty patchy by now (if not totally gone) but I'm gonna try some forensic recovery
If I manage I'll put the survivors somewhere for sure :)
Anywhere I can check out your renoise stuff? Always keen to find new stuff to boggle at
There's a community on FB, you can occasionally but pre made drives, even without that, a board and a floppy drive is enough.
What sort of memories did you find? (if you don't mind sharing)
Also: any tips for recovery? I'm so far assuming I'll just get them nice and cool, then do multiple raw read passes so I can then choose the individual bits which are the same across most passes
The disks that worked just worked! I did try multiple passes on the two that didn't, but that didn't help.
I'm quietly hoping I end up finding a bunch of my old x86 assembler projects in these discs (well - excited and a little scared... perhaps better through the rosy glasses of nostalgia)
