2. Floppy disk drive interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk_drive_interface

   The cable is normally a ribbon cable. For IBM-compatible floppy controllers, a twist in the cable reverses the order of conductors 10 through 16 for the second connector. This allows two drives connected to the same cable to be addressed by the host controller without having to select drive assignments with jumpers on the drives themselves ...

3. Berg connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berg_connector

   the four-pin polarized Berg connectors used to connect 3½-inch floppy disk drive units to the power supply unit, usually referred to as simply a "floppy power connector", but often also referred to as LP4. This connector has a 2.50 mm (0.098 in) pitch (not 2.54 mm).

4. FlashPath - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlashPath

   FlashPath is hardware compatible with all standard 3.5" High-Density Floppy disk drives, but is not a drop-in replacement for real floppy disks. A special software device driver must be installed on the computer that is to access data via FlashPath. Thus, FlashPath is only usable with computers and operating systems for which such a driver ...

5. Floppy-disk controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy-disk_controller

   When the controller and disk drive are assembled as one device, as it is the case with some external floppy disk drives, e.g., Commodore 1540 and USB floppy disk drives, [27] the internal floppy disk drive and its interface are unchanged, while the assembled device presents a different interface such as IEEE-488, parallel port or USB.

6. Ribbon cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_cable

   A spacing of 0.05 inch (1.27 mm) is the most usual, allowing for a two-row connector with a pin spacing of 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). These types are used for many types of equipment, in particular for interconnections within an enclosure. For personal computers, this size was used in floppy-disk-drive cables and older or custom Parallel ATA cables.

7. External storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_storage

   Initially all external storage, tape and hard disk drives are today available as both internal and external storage. In the 1964 removable disk media was introduced by the IBM 2310 disk drive with its 2315 cartridge used in IBM 1800 and IBM 1130 computers. [7] Magnetic disk media is today not removable; however disk devices and media such as ...
