Hi Guys, back again.
Well I found a number of good video clips on Youtube showing me how to gain access to the drive interior. This one is about the best:

I found another site that goes into a bit more detail as how to actually “crack” the clips but this one I found more helpful for my needs.
I then checked out eBay for the pricing of a connector board, as it looks like that is what I need and found the price as $54.11 with P & H at $11.90.
So it looks like I will be scrapping the External HD and salvaging the HD for later installing it into the PC. I cannot see the justification for spending $66.01 on a 500 Gig drive.
Thanks for the help.
Regards.
