FLOPPY-DRIVE INTERFACE
12.
The floppy-drive interface of the MOPS/386A uses a 2.88MB super I/O floppy-disk
controller and can support one floppy disk drive with densities that range from 360kB to
2.88MB. The controller is 100% IBM compatible.
Connector
12.1
The floppy disk interface is available on the flat-foil Connector X6 (26 pins). This type of
connector is often internally used in notebooks to connect a slim-line floppy drive.
There are different accessories available for this interface from Kontron. To connect a
standard 3.5" floppy drive, use an adapter cable (ADA-FLOPPY-2, Part Number 96001-0000-
00-0). If you have a slim-line 3.5" floppy drive, you may need a flat foil cable (KAB-
FLOPPY/MOPS-1, Part Number 96019-0000-00-0). It also is possible to get a slim line 3.5"
floppy drive with cable from Kontron (FLOPPY-MOPS-1, Part Number 96010-0000-00-0).
The following table shows the connector pinout.
