Floppy Disk Drive Connector: FDD1

This standard FDD connector supports 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M and 2.88M floppy
disk types.
ATA133 Hard Disk Connectors: IDE1 & IDE2
The mainboard has a 32-bit Enhanced PCI IDE and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 controller
that provides PIO mode 0~4, Bus Master, and Ultra DMA 66/100/133 function. You can
connect hard disk drives, CD-ROM and other IDE devices.
The Ultra ATA133 interface boosts data transfer rates between the computer and the
hard drive up to 133 megabytes (MB) per second. The new interface is one-third
faster than earlier record-breaking Ultra ATA/100 technology and is backwards
compatible with the existing Ultra ATA interface.
