After I used 'dd' to copy the contents of the CF to disk, I would probably try to make a copy using another actual CF or possibly a USB thumb drive. Then I would try to mount it. There may be a recognizable file system in use. That helps because you can look at the directory listing. Of course, it could be totally unrecognizable and simply a binary image that only the device understands. That's going to make the project a lot less feasible. There would be every reason to believe there is a file system simply because there are so many variants of code for FAT16 https://simba-os.readthedocs.io/en/latest/library-reference/filesystems/fat16.html |

Make a dump using some image tool either dd or a simple utility like USB Image Tool which is great. Try uploading the file here, probably sooner than later someone will find out ;D |

Okay All, I have acquired my CF card reader/writer. Do you think I should get the 32Mb size that the original card is? Would it make a difference? Most cards I can find are much larger... |

But as long as you make an image of the original and store it in a safe place there is no need (yet) to get another card. With the image you can always restore the original. Let us know if you need help with the linux commands to make the image. |
