The floppy ribbon belt is a wee bit narrower compared to CD-ROM, or HD
belts, I guess it is an ordinary floppy, then.
My main board manual just says: one floppy port supporting, 3,5" or
5,25"
I counted pins on the board layout
Floppy port = 2 rows by 17, 34 pins
Both IDE ports = 2 rows by 20, 40 pins, though I use 80-wire cables on
CD/DVD and HD
Ordinary floppy, then.
Sorry for confusing it.
Many thanks
