Old Hitachi DK226A-21U

June 25th, 2015, 18:06

Hi
Sorry if this is the wrong section of the forum.
I pulled the hard disk out of an old laptop (acer I think) running windows 98. I pulled the adaptory thing off that was connecting the ide-like hard disk port to the laptop. I want to connect it to a modern pc but can't figure out what kind of plug it is. I have seen things on ebay like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HITACHI-DK226A-32U-3-2GB-12-5MM-IDE-DRIVE-Tested-Warranty-Ship-International-/310349604825?autorefresh=true that say they have tested it but how?

Thanks
Matthew

Hi
Thanks for your quick reply.
Can you give me the specs on that and where I can buy one?
I'm also intrigued by what the plug is. It must contain ide and power.

Thanks
Matthew
