![]() It is interesting to see that one of the advertising points is “download from the internet” – indeed, many installation packages at the time were starting to outgrow the size of a single high-density 3.5″ floppy disk, so I did find myself making spanned ZIP archives more often than not. The disk is Made in the USA and the inlay card is dated 1998.

This disk comes pre-formatted for Mac and it was confirmed that the disk is still in Mac format. ![]() By now, the 3M branding had been eliminated, leaving Imation standing on its own. ![]() This would have been a later-version of the “brown” LS-120 SuperDisk I had posted about here. At first glance, I would be inclined to agree – it came complete with its single-disk protective jewel case and a clean inlay card. I was told that the disk in question was stored well and in good condition. ![]() I was all too happy to help, as that is part of the reason why I keep my vintage equipment alive. This entailed the postage of the disk and a USB stick to me at their cost, and covering the return postage of both items back to them upon completion. Rather than trying to chase an obscure special USB-to-Parallel/IDE cable and power supply for a second-hand unit from eBay, I decided to offer my assistance in recovering the data from the disk directly. Just a few weeks ago, I was contacted by Eddie Russell asking for some assistance in obtaining SuperDisk equipment to recover some data from a disk that has been sitting in a drawer for over a decade.
