Not an expert, but Qemu [a] emulates 486 systems and I think might boot a disk image taken using DD [b].
The dilemmas are:
1) Dare I disturb this hardware, particularly if it hasn’t been power-cycled for years? (calculated risk - but you need some kind of plan for when the inevitable failure happens if jobs are at stake)
2) Am I confident to attach the disk to a unix box and take an image? (Find and ask a unix guru - but it’s fairly straightforward)
