My cousin is not interested in repairing his old computer. Actually, I guess he will store it back in the box for posterity or give it to me.

At the moment, he is more concerned about the data. I was wondering if it's possible to read the RAW image with a tool such as DriveImage and then convert such RAW data to HFV for Emulation purposes. Any of you has a previous experience in doing this with DriveImage or, say, DFSee or any other PC Tools?

When the Mac was put out, the system was perfectly up and running. Doing an image of the WHOLE drive maybe I would be able to perfectly emulate the machine, and it's installed operating system, within a Basilisk-II / SheepShaver environment. What do you think?
