    Hello, I have an old Dell Latitude 110L, and it recently died, unexpectedly. I would like to get the info off of it, and am looking at an enclosure (USB) for the hard drive, but I do not know the interface. I'm good with desktops, but not so much with laptops, so i f you can help me figure this out. It a Toshiba, and I have included some pictures. I think its an ATA, but not sure - Will this enclosure work?
