Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

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
