I have an old harddisk which I would like to read out and back up. It is from the early 90s, hence does not yet understand addressing via LBA (logical block numbers), but needs cylinder/head/sector numbers. The physical interface is parallel ATA.
I understand that the common USB-to-ATA adapters, while physically compatible, all rely on LBA to address harddisk sectors -- hence won't work with this disk. Is there an adapter which supports cylinder/head/sector addressing? Commercial product or hobby project would both be fine.
Thanks!
