yes it appeared to be more complicated. The HDD is scsi.
I found Adaptec scsi adapter, connected my traget HDD and booted another machine with puppy linux CD. The HDD was found at boot and there what I could see with dmesg :
# dmesg
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
<Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter>
aic7870: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs

sda: unknown partition table
sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda
The disk was not listed on desktop for ones available to mount. I guess prelast message "sda: unknown partition table" was the reason. This was on my new linux box.
On the native machine during boot message pops up:
UHC UNIX System V Rel. 4.0 Version 3.6
then many messages about loaded modules
The uname -a returns:
fib1 4.0 3.6 i386 386/AT (fib1 - is user )
/etc/copyright - does not exist
With this original box flopies are formated at 1.44M and also I managed to make tar backups of some data. But my puppy linux could not mount them either.
Any ideas how to move on?
