Hello everyone! first time poster. I did my best to make sure I followed the rules but let me know if I missed anything.
I am a historian of signal processing and electronic sound and I recently was entrusted with a NeXT magneto optic disc in very good condition containing some computer music code from a U.S. composer I am working with. It contains programs made on a NeXT machine between the late 80s and late 90s. It was last written to probably in 1997.
I am based in Montréal, and I am looking for anyone within a 10-12 hour drive of here that may have a functional setup to copy the contents of the disc / image it.
the kind folks at tinkerdifferent directed me to your forum (https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/imaging-mo-disc.5462/)
thanks very much in advance for any tips or suggestions!
happy to answer questions if extra info might help orient this inquiry.

asking around here is a good starting point. you might also try and join the Discord channel: https://discord.gg/KKqSA8fx4
Rob Blessin of Black Hole Tech would definitely have one. I think one othe ruse on teh discord channel mentioned they have a working unit.
