The art and science of computer forensics--capturing images from
"erased" drives and reconstructing files--doesn't always
happen in a "CSI" laboratory.
For investigators who need to work in the field, there is a
lunchbox-style portable workstation that can capture evidence from
off-site data drives, says the manufacturer ACME Portable Machines Inc.,
based in Azusa, Calif.
The device, called the AFS-370, costs $6,890. Deliveries take four
weeks.
