Hi, Place a posting right here on LemSwap. I sold a G3 Pismo Zip Drive here and have seen others who sold a SuperDrive - either will give you an easy way to get at your data files. If memory serves me right, it is relatively easy to open the Pismo and remove the hard drive. Connect it to a $20 OWC usb 2.0 adapter and you can move files off that hard drive onto another Mac with USB.
