1. Floppy disk drive connector (34-1 pin FLOPPY)

This connector is for the provided floppy disk drive (FDD) signal cable. Insert

one end of the cable to this connector, then connect the other end to the

signal connector at the back of the floppy disk drive.

Pin 5 on the connector is removed to prevent incorrect cable connection when

using an FDD cable with a covered Pin 5.

2. LPT connector (26-1 pin LPT)

The LPT (Line Printing Terminal) connector supports devices such as a

printer. LPT standardizes as IEEE 1284, which is the parallel port interface on

IBM PC-compatible computers.
