May be I am missing something, but if you remove the drive from the enclosure (take it out of the external box) you should find it has a standard IDE or SATA connection on it, just like any internal hard drive.

What is the make and model number written on the drive?

There may be an adapter fixed onto it. Can you upload a picture of it?
