B. Floppy Drive Installation

The system supports 5 possible floppy drive types: 720 KB, 1.2 MB, 1.44 MB,
2.88 MB. In addition, this Motherboard supports a 3-mode
(720KB/1.2MB/1.44MB) floppy commonly used in Japan.
Connect one side of the 34-pin flat cable to the floppy drive and plug the other
end to the floppy drive connector in the Motherboard. The end of the cable
that goes into the motherboard is not twisted. The twisted end of the cable
goes into the floppy drive.
This Motherboard can support only one floppy drive.
