Solved! 40Gb Compaq Seagate AT

[AndyGK]

I need to recover data from a really old Seagate drive, with a 22-pin pre-IDE data connector I've not seen before. This thing's probably 15 or 20 years old. Any suggestions?

Looks like a laptop HDD. IDE (PATA), not SATA.

An enclosure like this should help gain access to the HDD:

Would help if you listed the exact drive model. SATA is a 22 pin connection. SCSI is possible but none of those are 22 pin.

Thanks! The model number is ST94011A
