An update about the hidden Performa 550 recovery partition (opens in new tab)

Earlier this year, I wrote about how I rescued a special recovery partition from an old Macintosh Performa 550’s dead hard drive. This partition had been lost to time and it was a race to try to save it before the remaining Performa 550 machines out there with their original hard drives were reformatted or destroyed. It has now been preserved on the Macintosh Garden. I have a few updates to that post that I’d like to share.
