I tried but it can’t find anything, probably because of signatures. It’s just some text files (no header) and that could be found with the hex editor but then there’s an executable inside to interpret them. Being that old I don’t remember what program is that.

Maybe I should find that image and post here if someone has it

You could creating an image of the drive under Linux, using dd. Then the recovery could be attempted on the image (assuming it does not contain sensitive data and can be shared).

For your information, in case your curious, a similar interface (that I use) is: cowlark.com/fluxengine/doc/building.html
