With support of different types of floppy, you can simply adopt any of

the combinations of 5.25" (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or 3.5" (720 KB,

1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives onto the mainboard.

A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual-drive

system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On

the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each set

consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives)

and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5.25" drives).

Wire number 1 on the cable is normally red or blue, and the other wires

are usually gray.

Connecting the floppy drive

Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN5. Make sure that the

red or blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector.

Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable to

the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set. The

set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to A: drive. The

set in the middle connects to B: drive.

If you are connecting a 5.25" floppy drive, line up the slot in the

printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable connector.

When connecting a 3.5" floppy drive, you may have trouble

determining which pin is pin number 1. Look for a number

printed on the circuit board indicating pin number 1. Also, the

connector on the floppy drive connector may have a slot. When the

slot is up, pin number 1 should be on the right.

Check the documentation that came with the drive for more

information.
