I have now dumped the disk marked "NESTOR3" and the other two unmarked disks.

The NESTOR3 disk has, as you had suspected, been reformatted, so the resulting dump is an empty Rigid Disk Block image "Nestor3.rdf". In addition, I have extracted an AmigaDOS FFS formatted hardfile "Nestor3.hdf", which also mounts in WinUAE with no errors, using the geometry Cyl: 2889, Hd 1, Sec 68. The Volume Name is "zippy".

It was not possible to dump the "PROBITY" disk to an RDB image, because the partition table had been overwritten.

The third disk also yielded an RDB image "Nestor1.rdf", and again I have extracted an AmigaDOS-formatted hardfile "Nestor1.hdf", which again mounts in WinUAE with no errors, using the geometry Cyl: 2889, Hd 1, Sec 68. The Volume Name is "nestor1".

The final disk dump yielded an AmigaDOS FFS-formatted hardfile with a capacity of exactly 96MB, which mounts in WinUAE with no errors, using the geometry Cyl: 3072, Hd 1, Sec 64. The Volume Name is "ZIP0".

The "ZIP0.log" file showed that there are 180 bad sectors in the range 185472 to 196560 (offset range $5A90000 to $5FFA000) but, in fact, the file is zeroed out from offset $5A90000 to the end of the disk image. I'm not sure yet if any of the files on the disk are damaged.

Once more I have attached file lists of the disks' content.
