I have floppy disks containing Bungie’s game Marathon for the Mac. 3 out of 4 I’ve been successful in dumping onto the PC but one is giving me trouble. Would Jason Scott be the person to ask about recovering the data from the disk?
If anyone can point you in the right direction, it’s probably Jason Scott. And it appears I’ve conjured him.
The process of recovering that disk may involve a long drive to one of a very few people in the world with specialized hardware for that purpose.
One thing you might want to do, though, is check Archive.org to see if they have that disk. You might just be able to get that data there. If they don’t have that disk and you do manage to recover it (or even if you don’t manage to recover the final disk and can only get images of 3 out of 4) do consider uploading disk images to Archive.org .
(This from someone who has an old 3rd-party collection of Sim City 2000 cities on CD that was sold in stores that I’ve been planning to image and upload but haven’t yet. I’ll get to it soon, though!)
