Would anyone have any ideas about how to retrieve data from an Epson HD-860 when one doesn't have access to a computer that supports the ST-506/412 interface? Is there such a thing as an adapter that converts allows the ST-506/412 to connect to an EIDE connector?<br />
<br />
Assuming I can get over the connection hurdle (big assumption!), would DOS (I mean real DOS, not a Windows start-up disk) be able to read the drive?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Strategies for retrieving data from an MFM ST-506/412 H/D

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
