If you really *must* do it with a PC, you'll need to find an old school
ISA IDE controller. Anything from integrated chipset world dropped
backwards compatibility with 8 bit IDE...

If you're really lucky, the old PC you have booted into linux might
allow you to image the drive, by using 'dd' to make a block level copy
of the device. If it recognises it as a 16 bit drive, it still might
work but claim that the disk is double the size it really is. A bit of
post processing would restore the image, which you could then either
dump back onto a newer disk and process it with CiderPress, or
alternatively if someone would share the Vulcan partition map details
you could extract each partition very easily into image files that
would then be compatible with both CiderPress and many emulators.
