To find the location of floppy-drive interface, please see the Appendix E: Connector Layout chapter.
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.
