[Gllug] Connecting up a 2.5" HDD in a normal PC

[John Winters]

Hi all,

My father's Acorn A3020 seems to have turned up its toes and died.  True
to form he hasn't backed up his HDD in a long time and would quite like
his data back.  AFAICS, the fault is not the HDD - the machine crashes
within a few moments of powering on, even without accessing the HDD, 
(The OS is in ROM.)

I believe it should be possible to copy off the data using a Linux box
and the ADFS module, but the drive is a 2.5" one and AFAICS has only a
ribbon cable going to it - no separate power lead.  Does anyone know if
you can get adapters to connect 2.5" drives inside a normal PC?

TIA,
John
