Oh yeah - I just looked it up - that model was produced from 1997 to 2000
and ran MacOS 9.  It's a dinosaur, and I'd feel safe saying it won't do
target disk mode either.

I bet it's a pain to pull out the hard disk.  And I'll bet it's a pain to
find ANY thing that will boot on a PPC that old.  I would suggest either a
sledgehammer, or a "don't care" with regards to data destruction on it...
