Yes, yes, we all know that, but Encase doesn't support it so it can't be done... Seriously though (yeah -- sad for Funsec, I know), depending on the Austrian courts' position on handling, chain-of-custody, admissability, etc of digital evidence, they may have problems if the accepted rules are sufficiently constrained as to be limited to "contemporary" technologies (such as PC- and Apple-, or Windows-, *nix-ish- and Mac OS-, or IDE-specifics). It's quite conceivable that this is the real source of the problem, but too difficult/dull for the reporter to make the focus of the story... And, because this _is_ Funsec...
Even I once wrote a disc reader for the C64 many years ago...
