Those links don't seem to work.

Some cards use standard cables, e.g.:



and some use floppy type connections.

Here is the card again.

You would need to disable the floppy in the BIOS to avoid the system complaining, and it would be better to have it running straight from the PSU....so yeah, i don't see why not.

Did it and it worked I just have no power to my floppy now

Where do I get that from ????

[liam858]

This would work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812101106 you just plug a spare standard power plug from the PSU into the female end, and you have 2 x 3pin floppy connectors, one to go to the floppy and one spare.

Most any good computer store will have power splitters. Of course you can find them on the web too, but the shipping and handling will probably be more than the splitter. JDR has some on this page: http://jdr.com/interact/item.asp?itemno=GR-FDD-5Y
