Thanks for the assurance and the link. I ended up getting this one:
"Antec MX-100 3.5-Inch USB Aluminum Enclosure for SATA Hard Drive"
Electronics; $31.24
Good to know I can buy an adapter if it's the wrong one.

Thank you for this timely response. I wanted to order one tonight.
But I didn't want to waste time by getting the wrong one. Now that
you've brought it up, I do remember the drives I used to use where
IDE drives. I've heard the ones used now called ATA, but also heard a
bunch of other things as well. SATA, sATA and others I can't think of
now. It all gets so confusing if it's not something you deal with
everyday.
Don't worry too much if you make a mistake. You can either return
it or do as my husband did when he accidentally ordered an SATA
drive for a PATA FW enclosure. He got a cheap adapter for the drive
from monoprice.com and it works fine [http://images.monoprice.com/

It's better to be more careful when ordering and match enclosure to
drive.
