one end of the cable to this connector, insert the other end to the signal
connector at the back of the floppy drive. (Pin 5 is removed to prevent incorrect
insertion when using ribbon cables with pin 5 plug).

Follow the hard disk drive documentation when setting the device in master
or slave mode.

Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the
Ultra ATA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you
connect the cables.

The hole near the blue connector on the Ultra ATA cable is intentional.
