You can buy one of the IDE to USB adapters for bare drives for just a few dollars.

I'm considering buying an old G3 and fitting it to that then using target mode
Just FYI, G3s do not support target disk mode. You'd have to have an AGP G4 or later. -

I'd forgotten about HD Target Mode (as it would be called in the PB G3s). As you say, though, since the MacBook Pro doesn't have SCSI, it would require the OP to purchase another system, and I think the external drive adapter would be less expensive and a lot less hassle.
Regards.
