I think the Summary line pretty much says it all, but to
rephrase:  I was wondering if disk utilities made specifically
for Mac formatted disks will work on Spectre disks?  For
example, a data recovery utility [like the one, say, in Mac
Tools Deluxe]...will that recover files from a damaged
Spectre-formatted disk?  (running under spectre, of course).
And would this type of tool (not necessarily a data recoverer,
but let's say maybe a disk "defragger") work on a hard disk
but not a floppy, on a floppy but not a hard disk?  Or doesn't
that matter?
Post to the net, or email me directly.  Thanks very much in
advance.
