I have a 5 year old Mac OS X laptop which died last night -- no lights, nothing, as if the battery
and AC line were disconnected.  There's nothing on it which is a disaster to lose, but there are
some things I'd like to get off.  Is it possible to plug the drive into a SATA (?) connector on a
Linux system and mount it with some encryption loopback setup to get into my FileVault-protcted home
dir?

I do have access to a completely different Mac, and I could probably swap drives, boot, get the data
I want, shut down, and restore drives, but I have no idea how well that would work.
