HP zx5000 Fujitsu IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 external enclosure???

OK so I bricked the damn thing with a java plug in for chrome. Go figure right...???


CD drive is not booting and based on the lack of responses to multiple threads here regarding USB boot support for this beast... my plan was to simply get an external USB enclosure for the drive that came stock in the HP and grab the few files I wanted from the drive with another machine then maybe sell the HP thing for parts.


Who woulda thunk that finding an enclosure that fits the pins for an Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 would be so freakin hard?

I have external drive enclosures, both SATA and IDE for 2.5 inch drives but the IDE pin set is wider on this ULTRA ATA ??? Picked up a Kensington then a Sabrent at Fry's - drove it 100 miles home and found it too was too small for the pin set-up. Went back, returned it and they tried to sell me exactly the same one. Then mr tech boy in the memory / drive dept announced that they don't make external enclosures to fit this. At that point I thought of this clip with De Niro from The Untouchables...

But alas I refrained.

Can anyone direct me to an enclosure that they know will work. I'm tired of returning stuff... Thanks.
