16. Floppy Interface

The floppy-drive interface of the coolMONSTER/PM uses a 2.88MB
super I/O floppy-disk controller and can support two floppy disk
drives with densities that range from 360kB to 2.88MB.

16.1 Connector

The floppy disk interface is available on Connector X14 (34
pins).
The following table shows the connector pin-out.

Notes: (
*) To protect the external power lines of peripheral devices, make sure that:
-- the wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current
-- the enclosure of the peripheral device fulfils the fire-protecting requirements of
-- IEC/EN 60950.
