Old External Hard Drive Connector

Thanks. Sorry for being thick but do you know where I may get one? Cheers.

You'd be better off opening up the case, pulling the hard drive and putting it into a more modern enclosure / dock if you want to read the disk.

Drive brand / serial number would help But I’d agree with eltawater ^^
