If the drive itself is okay, you can get a firewire enclosure, take the drive out of the machine, put it in the FW enclosure, and plug it into another machine. I've seen some fairly cheap enclosures designed for 2.5" laptop drives. You'd just need another mac that could read the disk and copy the data off of it.
www.pbfixit.com should have instructions on how to get the drive out of the machine if you go that route. -Mat On 10/23/05, Juan Buhler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi list, > > My Powerbook seems to have died today :( Probably too much vibration > while riding in the helmet compartment of the Vespa.
