You can buy such an enclosure online for $20 or so. Some of them come with more than one external interface. USB/ Firewire, USB / eSATA etc... and either one or both controllers (IDE/PATA SATA). The more options you get, the more you pay. I buy Speed Metal or Rosewill brands.

To copy stuff from an old Win98SE disk ...

I have used up to 1 GB size of these sticks with great
success.  Otherwise if it must be smaller look around on
ebay.  Someone must be selling a few of these dirt cheap
(even compgeeks might have them) with the price of solid
state memory coming down they just get cheaper and cheaper.


How about a different approach?  Buy/borrow an external
USB disk enclosure that takes IDE disks.  Transfer your Win98SE
disk into that.  Connect it to your new system which has better
USB support.  Copy the files over to the new system.
