I haven't tried it yet. I don't like installing extra softwrae on the |
| 23 |
Myth backend so I disconnected the drive, used this old 1394 drive as |
| 24 |
a replacement and now have the old drive back here in my office. I |
| 25 |
figure I'll install Photorec et all next weekend on my AMD64 box and |
| 26 |
see what it can find. |
