[time-nuts] OT: Wanted desperately - LS-120 disk drive

Hi:

There are hard drive recovery services.  The best one I know of is in 
Novato, California.
http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/
A Flordia based company could not help me and recommended the Novato 
outfit.  It turns out the cost of the recovery is related to the 
capacity of the drive, not the amount of data on the drive so I didn't 
have the drive recovered.  A friend, who thought he had RAID backup, 
found out it was not backup and happily paid $4k some years ago to have 
his business drive recovered.

Have Fun,
