Hello Orf,

The floppy drive uses a 34 pin ribbon cable of varying lengths for a single
device. If you have a computer store close by you can get one for a few
dollars. A computer repair shop may give you one. You can find them at most
online stores that sell computer parts. Here is an example:

You should also check to see if the power supply provides a power connector
for it. If not, you may want to consider getting an external USB drive
instead.

I need to put a floppy drive in a computer. Is the cable the same
as for
the "C" Drive (separate of course) or is it a special cable?
