This late 90's NEC beauty came in this week after being dormant for 15 years. The owner was hoping to recover some files from the drive, but the computer hadn't been booted in so long, we didn't know if the old IDE/ATA drive would respond to being woken up, or if it would even be readable at all. Luckily after spending a few weeks procuring the right adapters and controller for the old Fujitsu drive, we were able to pull the drive and transfer all his files to a modern USB stick. In this case, we returned to the owner a huge amount of his poetry from that era of his life that would otherwise have been lost. Are you an artist that has media of any description stuck on an old machine that you want back in your life? Let me know, and we'll make that happen.
