    Rod,
    
    You described two pieces of digital media that were known to have data
    on them, but when you examine them.....there is no data. What
    methods/tools are you using to examine them?
    
    Is that SCSI part of a raid?

    Subject: 2 data recovery questions
    
    I have 2 data recovery situations that could use an opinion.
    
    1) a 100GB+ scsi disk from an SGI that has data on it, but nothing is 
    visible. I'd prefer either a professional but affordable service 
    recommendation, or a freely downloadable toolkit, preferably Linux, but
    I do 
    have another SGI I could load it on, too. 
    I've downloaded the PLAC toolkit iso, but haven't tried it yet.
    Any other recommendations?
    2) a 3.3V 64MB SmartMedia card that was filled up in the camera, but now
    
    shows as blank (errors) both in the camera and in the FlashPath floppy 
    adapter.  . I downloaded a piece of software that said it might read it,
    but 
    it doesn't show any more data.  I've considered buying a USB adapter
    just to 
    try recovery one more way, but I do not have high hopes. 
    Any opinions to the contrary?
    
    TIA
    Rod
