There should be two of them. They are labeled P8 & P9 in the new AT
cases that I have ~and~ the antique AT case that holds my
all-new-but-the-power-supply, never-has-the-cover-on, subject-to-change
everyday system. I don't know why they would be labeled differently in
yours, but the 6 conductors sound right. If and when you ever use AT,
make sure the black ground wires on those two connectors are next to
each other.

Yep. Daisy chain.

Floppy or other "micro" sized devices.
