 Depends which version you have.
 The old ones, used 1.2 gig SCSI drives, but later versions ( and mods
 for the old ones ) adapted them to IDE drives.
 The newest, I don't know. Haven't seen any in a while.

 Don't remember what file system they use, but I know that I was able
 to simply plug it into my Linux box, and just mount the drive.
 Copy off whatever.
 Not sure you can do that with Micro$oft without buying some proprietary
 file system driver, if there even is one. Generally, M$ machines *require*
 M$, and ONLY M$ stuff to work at all.

 SO, the simple answer is to simply copy the contents from the old drive
 to the new one, using some Linux box.
