Floppy Disk Drive (1.44MB)
The 1.44MB floppy disk drive requires signal and power connections. The
power connection is easy since it only fits one way and a latch is available
to secure it when fully inserted. The signal cable is tricky because the cable
fits in both orientations as well as shifted one direction or the other. The
signal cable also has no latch to determine when full insertion is made.
Align the red stripes of the signal and power cables so that they face each
other. Carefully insert the connector while visually watching the progress
so that proper alignment and insertion is made.
