Translations:Capteren van data van verouderde dragers van Opera Ballet Vlaanderen/49/en

The collection from Opera Ballet Vlaanderen contained 48 magneto-optical disks; 9 of these had a capacity of 128 MB, 31 had a capacity of 230 MB and 8 had a capacity of 640 MB. They were all 3.5-inch disks. You need a magneto-optical drive to read magneto-optical disks. You can only connect reading equipment for 5.25-inch disks to a computer via SCSI; reading devices for 3.5-inch disks can be accessed via an SCSI, IDE or USB port. We used a Sony magneto-optical disk unit with an SCSI port from 1995. This is why we also used a Macintosh PowerBook G3 as our workstation. We used SCSIProbe 5.2.1. software for the computer to be able to communicate with the drive.
