I guess I need a total of two cables for my floppy, neither of which would not be the IDE.


I`m trying to struggle with the logic on that one..you overheated both my braincells  :crazy:

Anyway, back to the floppy.
You do indeed need 2 cables.
 A flat IDC type (same sort as IDE, just not so many wires!) which connects from the floppy to the floppy header which is top right on the A1200 mobo.
 Just pay attention to getting it the right way round.
 Pin 1 on the cable is the red streak, just match that up with the "1" marked by the motherboard header, and the mark on the floppy.

You also need a power cable that connects to the left of the floppy interface, can`t miss it its a small 4 pin header. This connecter is "keyed" so you can`t plug it in the wrong way.

BTW. Once you`ve got these, if the floppy light comes on and stays on, then the IDC cable is in back to front.



On schedule, and suing
