   Hej Wilfred!

   Heh, heh.  I see a kernel panic in my minds eye.  With a proper usb adapter   
   they might be mountable and hopefully readable.  I am sure they are ext2   
   formatted and all my currently running kernels can handle it.  Boot?  That   
   would require older hardware that doesn't exist here.  Mind you neither does   
   the usb adapter for compact flash.  I have a bunch of waterproof totes in   
   storage and maybe one of these days when I get curious enough I'll dig through   
   and see if I can find them.  Probably in the same tote with 5.25" and 3.5"   
   floppies as well as CDs, DVDs, and other assorted obsolete media such as   
   tapes.  I was known the 9 track tape guru way back in the VAX/VMS days.

   Them too.  I am still using 4 3.5" sata drives on one of my machines.  I've   
   even booted one of them recently.  Their warranties have long expired.
