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...
