A somewhat techno-question!

Sure that'll work on the above-mentioned drive?

Having a little trouble finding a UK-based (or UK-shipping) supplier, also.

Looks interesting - Rather than an enclosure, it plugs directly into the HDD (once removed) and then crosses over to your PC, via a USB2.0 interface?

Any ideas where I might be able to find it, from a UK-based, or UK-shipping website?

(Tried Amazon, they have it on .com, but not .co.uk... unless it's just being a pain.)

Sorry if these questions seem silly:

Does your old machine have a USB interface?
Does it have a CD-drive?
Do you have an extra USB HDD, eg for your new computer?

If so, a boot disk may be an alternative for you . There are some free offers on the web. Download and burn with your new computer - then boot your old computer with it and transfer the data to the USB HDD. (If you want to rescue only a small quantity of data/files, a USB stick will do)

As sure as I can be from reading specs off the web. The drive appears to have the standard IDE/parallel ATA connector used in 2.5" drives intended for laptops before SATA came along. (If you look at the two ribbon cable connectors, the larger one is for 3.5" IDE drives and the smaller for 2.5".)

That's correct, and it appears on your computer as an external USB drive (which it is). It's basically all the electronics of the enclosure without the box. Not recommended for a permanent fixture, but great for situations where you need a temporary connection to copy stuff.
