Hello,
I'll try to make the story short. Basically, I have dismantled my Toshiba T1200XE laptop. I have had it inside a wardrobe gathering dust for about 20 years and now wanted to recover data (doc files basically). The laptop does not boot anymore and the screen is faulty and nothing is displayed anymore (no matter bright-contrast).
This are some photos I've just taken:

So I've removed the hard disc drive in an attempt to recover data by plugging it into another computer.
I've found the specs at:

And then also at:

http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/hard-drives-hdd/conner/CP-2024XT-21MB-2-5-SSL-IDE-XT.html
The only way to plug it would be by means of the 44-pin device connector but would that be safe? Or would I just fry the 20Mb drive? I don't know if that drive is FAT8, FAT16... so I'm a bit lost to say the least...
I'd appreciate any kind of support and will provide feedback.
Greetings,
EDIT: I've found the following specs related PRECISELY to my model CP-2024 KATO, as shown in the photos. So it's an IDE interface.
