I just saw this today on the Polishing Ruby blog (http://blog.zenspider.com/):
activemdb (http://rubyforge.org/projects/activemdb). From the rubyforge
project page:

"Lets non-Windows boxes read MS Access (.mdb) files. Uses ActiveRecord-ish
reflection to parse table and column names. Intended for exploration and
migration, not production. Requires binaries from the MDB Tools project (
http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/)."
