It's a nice story, a great retro-struggle which I, and I'm sure many others, can relate to. Luckily, in this instance it has a happy ending. If you read the comments, some other Ultima VI NTSC owner surfaced and made a proper adf dump.

As an aside, if I could have one wish from a retro-genie, it's be to get rid of that stupid NTSC/PAL divide and made everyone use one system back in the day. It's a real curse on this hobby, no matter if you're into consoles or microcomputers. |
Definitely an example of what not to do. Repairing original disks? Definitely a no-no! I realise that it has a happy ending in the end (as someone else had the disks) but had these been rarer it could have been the end of recoverable data.
