Floppy Drives
Attaching floppy diskette drives are done in a similar manner to hard drives. See the
picture below for an example of a floppy cable. Most of the current floppy drives on
the market require that the cable be installed with the colored stripe positioned next to
the power connector. In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable which will
force a proper connection of the cable.
