We have an invaluable hard drive from a dead laptop with data that must be recovered. Following disassembly, I noted that this has an old ATA/100 connector (see pics). What adapters, cards, et cetera do I need to connect this drive to a newer desktop to retrieve the contents? Thanks.

Might be better off finding a used laptop of the same model and using it to boot and move your files, might because of the cost, time, and headaches of putting together a rig just for the drive.
