Connecting an External Floppy Disk Drive

Required cables/

connectors With the addition of a special cable, you can
connect the floppy disk drive module to the
parallel port. This enables you to have another
device in the modular bay and still use floppy
disks.
The floppy disk drive can only be connected
directly to the computer. You cannot connect the
floppy disk drive to the parallel port on a
DockMate Docking Solution.

Connecting directly

to computer Follow these steps to connect an external floppy
disk drive module directly to your computer.
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Connect the cable to the parallel port on the
back of the computer.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the
connector on the back of the floppy disk
drive module.
