I believe the drive was use on a older machine with a ext2 file

I believe the drive was use on a older machine with a ext2 file
system.

List the partitions and their types:

fdisk -l /dev/hdb

Mount one (read only at first):

mount /dev/hdbN /mnt/temp -o ro
                ^^^^^^^^^
Put your favorite mount point here.

Add '-t ext2' if required.  If it works, you shouldn't be.

Yes this worked. I mounted hdb1 and was able to read the files it
contains.

Thanks
