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.
