Good product. I managed for format a few hundreds floppies in both 5" 1/4 and 3" 1/2 formats. It worked like a charm with my Asus P2B board. You just need to know there's a specific drive letter you need to use in the bios, depending on where you plug your floppy drive. If it doesn't work or the drive doesn't show up, try the other plug or change the floppy drive letter to the other one.

Funcionó perfecto con una unidad TEAC de 5 1/4 muy vieja. Pude leer más de 300 Floppy Disc. Entró en el CPU y en la tarjeta de manera correcta. Solamente cuide que el hilo marcado en rojo vaya en la dirección correcta de la tarjeta y del disco (es el PIN 1)

I needed this cable to test out a TEAC 3.5" drive with a manufacturing date back in 1991. That was before drive connectors were keyed in any way; you needed to read the silkscreening on the drive, and at the motherboard or floppy card, in order to see which way to plug in the ribbon cable. My drive has no pins omitted, and no notch in a molding around the pins, in order to help the user. The first ribbon cable I tried was keyed at both ends, with pin 3 blocked - it was therefore useless to me. By comparison, this ribbon cable was exactly what I needed and works well. ** If you're not familiar, the red edge of the ribbon cable aligns with Pin 1 at both your floppy drive and at the motherboard/floppy board header.** On my motherboard, there wasn't any marking for Pin 1, but the motherboard had a silkscreened thick line going around only that corner of the header to indicate it.

Not much can be said a out a ribon cable. The cable was constricted nicely and like the origional cable for floppy drives it was made for both types of connectors used on them. I would buy this cable again.

Ce câble m’a permis de brancher un vieux lecteur de disquettes Panasonic JU-455-5 AAB 5 ¼ po modèle DFX-80D1BRA (double coté - double densité) dans un PC AT Intel Pentium III. La carte mère est une D815EEA qui a le connecteur de 34 positions. Toutefois, ce PC comporte 2 HD, un avec Win2K et une autre avec Win98. Seulement Win98 semble supporter ce lecteur double densité. Win2K voit le lecteur, mais je crois qu’il essaie de lire en haute densité, ce qui retourne toujours une erreur entrée-sortie. La seule combinaison qui fonctionne consiste à brancher le second « Edge connector » (donc celui après la torsion dans le câble) et à déplacer sur le lecteur le jumper DS et le mettre sur MX. J’ai aussi mis le jumper DS2, mais je crois qu‘avec MX, il ne sert plus. Avec Win98, j’arrive à lire des disquettes écrites depuis 1984. Pour une raison inconnue, la première commande « dir a: » retourne toujours une erreur, mais la reprise fonctionne. Aussi, la commande « format a : » retourne parfois : « Le lecteur est en cours d’utilisation… », mais re-soumettre la commande fonctionne.
