Hi Dominique,

You could try to find somebody with a Tascam MD-801R. At my
radiostation we used to recover data for reporters who brought in nice
material which unfortunately did not 'seem' to exist anymore. In about
75 percent however we could recover most of the recordings and even
more ancient material which was erased before. Also be aware that some
recorders don't take some brands of discs. The life-span of discs, or
say the re-recording cycle, is likely to differ as well.

I might be able to have your disc(s) recovered at low (or no) cost,
however, as I mentioned, there is a limited degree of success.

Good luck!

Jaap
