Props for for having a good sense of humor. It made me laugh.

Seriously though I hate to say it but your quest feels pretty damn futile.

I wish you luck either way, and would offer you my MacTV but it is long
gone.

If you can provide names of unique files or something that was on the
drive- identifiable but not sensitive- it might help you. Like I said,
there's nothing to key off of in your original post.

I've hunted far rarer specific systems- smbx machines and the like that
went missing from universities with good inventory control only one or two
years ago- and had zero luck.

Also do try Low End Mac and 68kmla, this is more relevant to those
audiences.

Cheers,

- I
