2.3Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6359 Series' onboard controller. You can use any combination of 5.25" (360 KB / 1.2 MB) and/or 3.5" (720 KB / 1.44/2.88 MB) drives.

The card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable. 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). You can use only one connector in each set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive. The set in the middle connects to the B: floppy drive.

2.4Parallel Port Connector (CN4)

The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer. The PCA-6359 Series includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable connector, CN4. The card comes with an adapter cable which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connec- tor. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket. The bracket installs at the end of an empty slot in your chassis, giving you access to the connector.

The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
