now that i have four failedish disks with apple filesystems on them that i want to get stuff off, i am now willing to invest some money to do so. i figure i need some software (like vivard, or diskwarrior or ufsexplorer or somesuch) and some hardware to connect the disk to a mac system (that is running the hardware).
DiskWarrior repairs filesystem catalogs and structures. It's not intended for data recovery, but it may help. For recovery, I've used Prosoft's Data Rescue and had good luck with it. I'm not familiar with the others. <http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php>
this latter is the most unknown to me; i assume there is some device that has an internal sata or ide interface and an external firewire (or USB?) interface.
If I understand you correctly, maybe you only need a SATA dock. AFAIK there isn't one with an IDE interface, but Apple hasn't made a system with IDE since 2003 or so. A dock I like is: <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153071> I have used them on Macs; they work great. - Aaron -- Aaron Hall <[email protected]> Asst.
