Adding Floppy drive Opti 755
Just got my computer swapped out at work. Had a GX280, now have an Opti 755. In the old one, I had installed my own 3.5" Floppy, as work does not provide it. I have the need to be able to transfer data that some of my test equipment dumps on to floppies, so I'd like to install that in the new 755.
I see the 755 mo'board has a connector for a floppy drive. Is this a standard parallel ATA (IDE) connector? Can I connect the floppy to that connector via a standard parallel ata cable? Also, looks like they changed power connectors on me. What happened to the old 'molex' connectors? Are cheap adapters available to get from the newer power connector to the old style floppy power connection (mini-molex?)
