mtools is a desperation move, since I haven't actually read anything from
anything yet. As I mentioned, I *may* have an old drive head cleaner
somewhere - since it's not been used in about a decade, I'm thinking of
corrosion or crud.

I also can't seem to find the USB 3.5" drive I borrowed - lsusb sees it
(at least since the last reboot), but trying to find it to mount it is
something I'm still digging at, and I doubt mtools can find it.
