5-11 Floppy/Hard Disk Drive and SCSI Connections

Note the following when connecting the floppy and hard disk drive cables:

The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.

A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.

A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors

to provide for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires

always connects to drive A, and the connector that does not have

twisted wires always connects to drive B.
