An elderly relative has a PPC iMac, the so-called "sunflower mac"

It eventually died, but the symptoms hinted it wasn't a disk crash.

This apparently came with MacO OS 9.2 and a  60.0 GB Ultra ATA/66 hard 
drive (5400 RPM), so what modern machines can read Mac file formats?  I 
have an Ubunutu-based PVR with an ATA interface that's doing the DVD 
right now, could I read it from Linux? My old SPARC read Mac SCSI formats...
