got ubuntu up and running on a vm.
called around to see if anyone has a device I could rent to dump my data onto - nope (apparently people think you're crazy if you have 3-4TB of data).
called around trying to find a sata card to add to my system nearby - no luck there.

that's where it is now...will keep updating.
