Both Mac and Linux say the thing is completely unformatted; and I have lost
my backups for the last 15 years.
Advice gratefully received [ apart from "always backup everything onto 97

Here's some free software that may help. You'll have to attach the drive to
a Windows machine, and the hfs partitions are not recoverable with this
tool. I've also seen drives recovered with testdisk on linux, but I haven't
done it myself.

The info says it does not recognise HFS and HFS+ partitions, so, even
with a Windows machine there would not be much joy.
