I managed to grab a (hopefully) uncorrupted version somehow. I'm putting it somewhere other than imgur so they don't recompress the image. MD5 d30fcc384a8e2de4fab3056bde42b00b. [EDIT: Removed dead link, use archive.org instead]

Today's fun fact: The MS-DOS `format` command fills the disk with 0xf6, not 0x00. Though this is linux running on Mac hardware, reading a disk that should have actual data, so maybe that isn't the reason.

Another fun fact: That character is ö under Windows-1252, the codepage in use by Windows since about Windows 2.0, and some late MS-DOS.

Wow that explains the öööööööö I remember seeing back in the day when I first ever downloaded a hex editor and opened a drive I had raw.

Funny co-incidence, in the Finnish language when you don't know what to say, you can say "Ööh". Data not found.

Perhaps the read head seeked (sought?) to the wrong offset, causing empty blocks to be read.

The link you gave is deleted.

Thanks, edited. I guess they didn't like all the traffic. Luckily archive.org has a copy too.
