Sadly no, I have now purchased 6 of these units off eBay hoping that one would come with the software, but alas none have yet, will keep trying.

I have a drive but the hard disk is done. And scsi hdd are very hard to do a sector recovery on. I just set up a scsi2sd to replace it. And will use hddriver. I have a friend who is a guru at finding archived software look to. I will update you if I have any luck. I was hoping I could get the drive running and look on it for drivers. It could also be setup for a amiga

The image is on a hard drive that will not start and the atari can not read. Maybe a pc with a adapter scsi and better recovery software could.
