ATA drives. Right now it is slotted as the second main drive in my
PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics.
The platform is up-graded to 2 Gb. Ram, Processor up-grade to 1.2 Mhz,

Boot the drive from a Linux rescue CD, and use ddrescue to image the

Thanks to everyone for responding, much appreciated. It looks like my
best option at this point with the limited funding I have is to trade
