Access data on old ATA drive circa 2002?

by loremipsum0987 . Updated 11 years, 9 months ago

Hey guys, I have this old Maxtor 60 gigabyte ATA drive sitting around. It’s been out of service for a few years since I upgraded to a more suitable drive for this century. I have some data on it I’d love to recover, and recently purchased a powered sata to USB device that let me recover data off my old SATA 3.5″ drives, but my old ATA drive won’t fit.

If anyone knows a good way to access this old data without actually changing my computer’s hardware, I’d love to hear it.

Edit, I’ve looked around other places, as well as amazon for a product that would let me use the drive plug and play style, but to no avail. Most of what I found either isn’t for it, or doesn’t come with a power cable that would actually power the drive.
