If the Adaptec 2940 BIOS seems to detect the disk I wonder what would happen if DOS was set up on the system and ASPI8DOS.SYS was loaded. Would the Adaptec 2940 and ASPI driver respect the BIOS parity setting and interact with the ACB4000 bridge well enough for a fairly simple DOS program to be able to use the ASPI interface to send READ CDBs to read the sectors from the device? If I had such a device myself to experiment with I'd probably give that a try to see if it works.
If it would work, I wonder if you could then use something like Ghost to copy the drive to an image or another more standard drive that could then more easily be worked with.
