Retrieval of data from ancient mac 3.5 inch floppy discs
Howard from Disk Transfer is a magician. I had found in a dusty box several ancient 3.5 inch floppy discs that I vaguely thought might contain my university work from 1988/89. This was written in an ancient version of MacWrite on those original white Macs that are now in museums. Not only did he manage to painstakingly rescue the data from the discs, he managed to convert it into a readable MS-Word format and I have now completely reconstructed my university thesis with minimal extra effort that I thought was long lost. Fantastic customer service and total commitment to get a favourable outcome and I cannot recommend highly enough.

Hi Richard, Many thanks for your time in writing this review for Mac floppy disk transfer. I really appreciate it. The effort you go into detail helps others decide whether to come to us for their own data recovery. I recall you had tried uploading the floppies via an old-ish Mac but had no success mounting the volumes. However our process overcomes that by making a number of "light" reading passes over the disk to reconstruct the data for the whole disk (a disk image) which we can then pull the files off and convert them for PC or Apple Mac Word. Also the thesis included footnote formatting and Greek letters that initially caused trouble displaying correctly, but eventually we got them to print out ok. Enjoy your evening and thanks again for the 5 stars. Kind regards, Howard
