I have an old drive (all 80MB of it) that is perfectly usable but it
has a staggering transfer rate of 700k/s. It gets detected in
a modern system as well as an old system. But, the hardware
detects with different parameters (C/H/S). So the only
way to fix it and make it readable was to plug it in the
old system or read of the C/H/S numbers from the drive.
Plug it in the new system and set the C/H/S explicitly on
linux's command line... Then I think it might have
a btter chance of working.
