Backing up a 20mb vulcan HD



What would happen if I plugged in a vulcan hard drive to a PC's IDE
bus?  Would I be able to image that sucker as a .dsk file relatively
easy?  I was planning to get an external USB IDE cradle to isolate it
from my PC a little, so that worst case I only loose a USB hub :-D

I discovered on my old vulcan that I have some pretty decent suff worth
saving.  Namely, a lot of mouse-programming examples and some dev tools
like Merlin and "editpro"   I also found a drawing program published by
softdisk that supports graphics tablet, joystick, mouse and keyboard.
So, as I'm in the process of fixing this old machine I would also like
to backup the drive in case it decides to eventually fail one day.  I
have a super-serial card but no cable connector to the board to connect
a 25 or 9-pin serial connector to, so that's why I'd rather just slave
the vulcan to a pc directly.  Call me (really freaking) lazy.

Thanks for any help in advance!
