A4000 floppy cable

alewis · 30 August 2006, 22:16

I've prolly asked this before, but can't find it in the forum if I have.
What is the orientation of the A4K floppy cable:

1. Which header is df0: and which is df1: (as in the middle header, or the twisted end header)?

2. Which is pin 1 on the header? My cable has a blue stripe on one side, grey on the other. So, is pin 1 near the twist, or the opposite side of the twist (I think I can just about work out which is pin1 on the middle header from that ;-) )

Thanks. Bloody drives are driving me up the wall.

not sure that this is what u want but on my 4000:

the red stripe on the mobo is to the PSU side
and on the floppy on the -opposite- side of its power connector, facing outside that is (the reverse from a pc drive...)

Thanks, but of little use: I have 3 red stripes on my cable! If I can orient the cable according to the twist, then I can work it out.

The twist is closer to pin 1 and DF0 goes to the middle connector, jumper setting DS0.
