Summary: I have saved numerous drives with mac zap


	I have completely recovered at least 35 hard disks with MacZap.
I have tried several other recovery programs including FEdit and MacTools,
neither of which were as good as MacZap.  MacZap has recovered disks where
these others have failed.  It maybe not so easy to use, but in a recovery
utility program like MacZap I would gladly give up a little ease of use for
more features.  I have recovered DataFrames, HyperDrives, Apple HD, Apple
SCSIs, and Jasmine drives.
	I highly recommend it.  The only problem is that you need as
much blank space as used space to recover easily.  (i.e.  you need
another hard disk at least as big as the trashed on.)  It will recover
to floppies, but that is a pain.
