*Hi Robin
Okay in fact I've already ordered two sockets for mounting a Compact 
flash card in the machines IDE bays:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9304

I did that original because one of the harddisc's  have periodical 
failure, thick and old oil or something, but it will not operate proper 
much longer I think. And new IDE disk's dosen't seem to float the market.

Then taking the raw data should be easy through a compact flash card 
reader, and I don't mind mixing in Ardour.

Thanks for that link.*
