In addition, if you can access the drive in Windows (i.e. you have a
SCSI controller capable of connecting your IIgs hard drive) you should
be able to read the partitions using Ciderpress. Or alternatively
transfer any GSHK files via a serial connection - admittedly this
might take a while depending on the size of the archive(s).
