I'm trying to install a floppy drive in my new desktop.
I don't know much about IDE connections/cables but it seems there are multiple types. I've seen some with pins in the middle taken out and others with all their pins. I think I have a newer version of IDE on my motherboard.
Do they sell these newer cables with 3.5" drive connections?
One should also ask why you need a floppy drive in the days of 32GB SD cards :) – Scott Bennett-McLeish – 2011-02-12T09:02:37.643
Thanks everyone, I definitely don't have a floppy connection so I guess I'm going with a USB external. I have some old mac game disks that I'm trying to archive. – Usagi – 2011-02-12T19:43:19.470
1The added advantage is that you can store a USB floppy in a dust-tight box on your shelf when not in use, instead of using an in-case unit as a rather expensive computer case air filter, only to find a year later when you need it, that you need to blow the dust out to make it work. – Fiasco Labs – 2012-02-11T21:42:51.140
