Ladies and Gentlenerds, First To the moderators... I am not totally sure this is the right place to post this... So Please move it to the appropate forum. I just got my hands yesterday 12/26/2009 on an external Tool External HDD... Dont know if anyone would be intrested in its contents... But I am willing to post the contents to the user download forums if anyone is intrested in it.... I am willing to to make a drive image in the 2 most requested formats... so let me know what format you wish it to be imaged... my personal prefrence is raw format. Xeveniah Darkwind
this is a really good point. I think your best bet would be to yank the drive, dd it and compress- see if there's actually any worthwhile data size in there..
I'm with assembler on this one. Are you sure there is data on them? I don't think there were any EA games that used the hard drive. At least ones that were released. My suggestion would be to find out first before you attempt to do an image dump. I would look for a tool that would list out the APA partitions first. If you actually had a tool (or one of the original Japanese SCPH-1xxx) systems you could directly plug that in and use the HD Tool disc that is specifically for developing systems to browse the partitions. I do know that there are plenty of hard drive programs out there but one specifically for the PC doesn't come to mind at the moment, but I'm sure one such program does exist. Note I believe Tool hard drives are already initialized so they will have the standard partitions (example [MBR],[SYSTEM],[CONTENTS]). What you are looking is partitions that have the 9 digit disc number (example SLPS25088) in them.
