There are others much more capable at data recovery which I don't intend 
to try to compete with. My goal would be a simple conversion service. 
You have (good) media but not the reader, you send it to me, I dump the 
data to a DVD/HDD and send you back the results.

   That would be very kind of you! I don't know if this will get off the 
ground, but even worse case scenario I still learn how to add wide 
hardware support to my backup program. :)

Want to send me an email off list? I've got a car so I can come to you, 
if that would be preferable.
