afaik the z3100 was always PATA, z3200 started with SATA from the beginning.
Found a dusty IDE to USB adapter. Same ATA password works for that IDE/PATA Western Digital drive from the Z3100.
Interestingly enough, even though I tried to use sparse files, it seems dd copied it block by block in the end (no savings). After passing the file through gzip,it went down in size about 92%.
amer:~ # dd conv=sparse if=/dev/sdb of=/home/z3100.hdd.raw-dd bs=10M
3815+1 records in
3815+1 records out
40007761920 bytes (40 GB, 37 GiB) copied, 1470 s, 27.2 MB/s
amer:/home # du -hs z3100.hdd.raw*
38G z3100.hdd.raw
amer:/home # gzip z3100.hdd.raw
amer:/home # du -hs z3100.hdd.raw.gz
3.6G z3100.hdd.raw.gz
The second partition of the z3100 drive holds de root filesystem, etc/fstab looks like this:
amer:~ # cat /mnt/etc/fstab
#
# See fstab(5) for more information
#
# spec file vfstype mntops freq passno

Emergency root filesystem is here
/mnt/boot
Boot loader data
/mnt/standard
root filesystem. Includes an interesting "Changelog" file (why would you remove vi Jaume?!)
/mnt/vpm
Empty, no idea what it's for so far..
/mnt/data
Scratch area?. I see some icc files, references to updates, logs.
/mnt/plots
Some .bkz files, can't identify anything I've sent to the printer.
Any word on how much RAM can the board support?, 1GB?
Edit: I was looking at the rescue system running Montavista 3.x, the one market as /standard is the main/production root with Montavista 4.x
