Looking for old 286...

I was given a Seagate ST-251 42 MB disk and DTK PTI-220 board out of my
father's OLD computer. My siblings would very much like for me to get the
data off the disk, but I cannot get my oldest machine (NEC Powermate P133
running NT 4.0 SP6) to recognize the disk and/or board.  I have hunted the
web and this website for information pertaining to the PTI-220 board with
very little luck. (The many numbers I've found for DTK have all been
disconnected.)

Someone suggested that the best bet might be to find an old 286 architecture
computer to use to access the disk and pull the data off.  Does anyone have
such a machine they would let me borrow, have, or buy?  (I'd prefer to know
the machine is already working so I don't have to troubleshoot it and the
board/disk I'm trying to access.)

Thank you.
