I have a Toshiba model HDD2918 K hard drive that came out of a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop. I want to turn it into a USB portable drive. I purchased one of the USB encloseures on eBay. Unfortunately, the connectors do not match. The enclosure has a standard IDE connector. The hard drive has a smaller female 'edge' type connector. Can anyone:
1. Identify the connector so I know what to ask for, or
2. Give me a pinout and supplier for the male connector so I can make an adapter.
If someone thinks they might know what this is and sends me an email address I will send a picture. Can't figure out how to include one here.
Thanks.

You will need a slim/slimline drive to IDE converter.
Google the following:
