So, while I was busy setting it up and booting it, my then infant son had a diaper emergency which demanded my attention, but when I came back, the mac had frozen and the drive would not boot ever again since then, right before I was actually going to back up that data for real. I kicked myself, but in 2019, I realized I had at least backed the videoworks animation files in a Mac Classic, so all was not lost, and that stuff has been shoved to youtube for me to show my brother and some close friends (if you're really curious about what the mind of an early teenager did with videoworks, PM me).
After realizing that the drive it used was really common, a ST-225N from Seagate and seeing a few videos of oil doing the trick long enough to back data out, I'm tempted to do the same thing. It's not like I *need* this noisy and clunky storage device, I have tons of better alternatives, but if there's a chance I can potentially dig out personal files, I'm all for it.
