Hello, Ben:
First shot, you might want to try target disk mode.
Second, would your machine host their drive?
Third, a PC with Transmac would allow you to see the data until a new

All,
Thanks for all of the rather excellent advice in this thread, I greatly
appreciate it. Also in this instance, there is a (very) happy ending. Things
worked out so that my aunt was able to purchase a brand new Mac Mini, and I had
a spare monitor. She was also able to pick up a new copy

a bad logic board. You know, comes on but with the fans set at 747 and

Obviously I'd prefer 2, but I know that using Migration assistant all but
