This is very strange. The drive is a Hitachi DK23DA-20F. It measures 2 and 15/16 in width; 3 and 15/16 in length exclusive of pins. With pins it is 4.0 inches. There are 43 pins (as someone mentioned, one is missing) and 4 pins for jumpers. It was powered through the data cable.
The adapter supplied with the initial kit I got is identical but has a power connector. As others pointed out, the pin pitch (spacing) does not match a standard IDE cable. There is no indication on either drive or adapter as to which pin is "pin 1".
I am still researching the problem.
