Flashback to 2014! Never let someone tell you that your data is gone. We see situations like this on a regular basis! Also, there is a big difference between data rescue and data recovery! It’s like going to the Emergency Room for a $1000 Band-Air when you could have just gone to your doctor or […]

This particular Mac is notoriously difficult […]

I recently helped a MacMedics customer recover 33-year-old data from an 80MB (That’s Megabyte!) 2.5-inch SCSI hard drive. The BIOS of the SCSI drive was so old that my usual method did not work.
