DriveSavers, the worldwide leader in data recovery, eDiscovery and digital forensic services, formally announced today that the company has recovered nearly 200 floppy disks belonging to Star Trek creator-the late Gene Roddenberry. The original Star Trek television program ran from 1966 to 1969. Roddenberry created scripts for the futuristic show on a typewriter. And later, he used a pair of custom-built computers to capture story ideas, write scripts and notes. Over time, the author moved on to work with more mainstream computers, but kept the custom-built pair in his possession.
Although Roddenberry died in 1991, it wasn't until much later that his estate discovered nearly 200 5.25-inch floppy disks on which the Star Trek creator stored his work. One of the custom-built computers had long since been auctioned and the remaining device was no longer functional. LunaTech, the IT company retained by Roddenberry Entertainment, suggested sending the disks to DriveSavers. "We've been working with DriveSavers for over 5 years," said Bobby Pappas, president and founder of LunaTech, "we knew if anyone could get this unique data back, they could."
