Hi Folks!

I have a Pismo which no longer powers up but I think its HDD is still working and I'd need to retrieve some files from it.

Could I remove it and connect to my new Mac as an external USB hard disk, and what would I need, a PATA enclosure just like this one below?

And would I be able to boot from it (it has a Classic system installed) or all I could do is just browse through its files?


Thanks a lot!!
