Last month I recovered a HDD from a 486 we've been running at work for some 30 years.  The computer was tanking along as normal when a power outage finally killed it.  I managed to transfer all the files off of the HDD by first transplanting the HDD into another 486 and then transfer them via LapLink to my Linux box running DosBox.

I would have just used an IDE to USB adaptor, but the hard drive was starting to fail and my adaptor wasn't reading it.  Luckily I was sucessful in getting it up long enough to transfer everything off.  All files saved.
