Pinout Needed!!! Dell floppy drive with unusual cable. #7
Comments
Hi Seth, Yeah, if you could post a picture that might help a fair bit with identifying the drive and pinout. It very well could be a different interface than standard floppies. Without a picture though, here's some steps you can use to try to manually identify the pins:
Hopefully a picture will help me (or someone else on here) locate the proper pinout, but if not those steps should send you along that direction. Just out of curiosity, do you know if it was a powered eject drive? (i.e. can it automatically eject disks?) |
Thanks! I found out what the problem was. It was an unusual Dell digital connector... They were only used for a certain amount of time. They are always set to drive select A so some of the wires are reversed. There is no twist, as it it a hairthin ribbon cable. Thanks for the reply!!! My floppy drive set is working like a charm! |
Sweet! |
Hello. My Dell floppy drive has an unusual cable and I dont know what the problem is. I thought I followed the pin numbers well, but it just doesnt work! Its the drive out of an old Dell optiplex GX280. I got 2 other drives to work but the third doesnt want to. Ill post a picture of the drive if needed. If you would like to email me, email me at support@jcamtech.com.
Thanks!
