So this is more of a theoretical question since the drive is actually fine and I think the customer just needs to fix something else on the computer to get it back up for now.

Does anyone have any experience working with Minix filesystem? The filesystem type marker in the partition table is 0x41 which according to this list: https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/ ... pes-1.html

Is Minix otherwise known as Mini Unix (which is consistent with what their IT guy thought it was).

Even if anyone just knows a way to convert it to a VMDK or Virtualize it into something. This server is crazy old and they've got to somehow try to keep it limping along.
