The image looks to be all zeroes, so all bad.

Could still grab track 0 sector 0 and save it as a file, or try the SST route (Super Saltines Transfer).  I've never used SST personally; that came after my days.

Or, there's a program called The Inspector/Watson that can do a nibble read of a track (loads it into the hi-res buffer), which can then just be BSAVEd as a file.  It runs in the RAM card though.

Track 0 is what we need to see.
