General update:

That will join the "next things to try" on my list.  I also wanted to 
thank Francois for the link he provided.  I don't know what's inside, 
yet.  I am thinking / hoping that the disk is a typical unprotected disk 
and the files can be read directly and copied off once they're accessed.

I tried to connect the device to a Lubuntu desktop system using a USB 
cable with a charge / data link switch on the connector and it could not 
be found.  As Darren noted, the screen is not displaying -- I see 
nothing but a greyish background and stripes of muted colors 
interspersed with black - white flashes of the entire screen.  Things 
are going on at the machine level, but they cannot be seen or reacted 
to.  Touchscreen capability is not working and I am not able to log in.  
I did originally set login up to be password protected, which seemed 
like a good idea at the time.  The device doesn't respond to a ping and 
isn't seen on my network(s).
