A close friend of mine has a Radio Shack DR-83 voice recorder which has been acting up lately. It finally spasmed severely and completely reset, deleting the date and all of the stored files, some of which had great sentimental value. The unit records on a chip but does not have a USB port for a PC to connect to. The internal OS shows the unit to be empty - no files. Does anyone out there know of any way to recover these files, like maybe removing the RAM chip and jury-rigging a connection to a PC, or something similar? She's willing to spend a bit on this if it's possible.

In general those rely on battery power, and you can't read them "live" as there's no external ports. Any attempt to disassemble them would almost surely involve removing the battery, which will erase all contents any way. I'd say it's not worth trying.
