I've got all of mine, except the Atari's which I lost in a fire.
The intent was to build a PC of my own to access the old hard drives for the personal data they contain, but I never "got to it".

Some time ago, I took all the old drives and stuck them in a old win 98 computer, copied the data, and burned it to disk...later transferring them to a 2TB drive..

The thing with the old drives is that the interfaces with the mother board has changes over the years, and you can’t install them in the newer cases....I am sure someone could modify it at some expense, but sometimes saving the old crap is worth it.
