Question Mount very old nextstep disk?


I have a disk from an original NeXT cube -- a 380MB Maxtor. I no longer have the cables, keyboard, etc. for the computer, but want to reclaim the data on the disk and perhaps the optical drives disks as well.

I have been able to read the data from the disk on my linux machine, using dd to copy it to a file, but I have been unable to find anything that will let me mount it. While I do have ufs support, mount doesn't work since nothing seems to be able to read the disk label. sfdisk won't read it, nor will parted. Without that info, I don't know where the partitions are, so I can't use the offset capabilities of the loop device, etc.

So... anyone know which tools might be able to look at this old disk and figure that out? If there are no tools, anyone have any info or .h files for the disk label structure so I can write something?

Once again, what I really want to do is simply get the data off the drive in a format that makes sense to linux.

Thanks in advance.
