Hi, I'm new here and a bit new to retro stuff,
So essentially I'm trying to build a basic retro windows 98 build to play some games and run old software, and I have this small floppy disk drive, yet the connector on it is too small for my FDD cable. I've tried looking all over the place but I haven't found anything to help me. So I was wondering if anyone who comes across this post might be able to help me? Like I'm thinking maybe this is a floppy disk drive meant for a laptop or something? I haven't got any images of it yet and tbh I'm quite tired so I will be posting this and then going to bed so I'll try and get a picture of it and send it tomorrow if that helps.
On the bottom, however, there is some information which might be of some help: NEC FD1238T with the date being 2002.10. Hopefully, this will be of some help.
If anyone could help out that would be much appreciated, I do have some knowledge of retro stuff, I'm just a little bit of a noob I guess 🤣 as this will be my first retro build, with the last time that I even used a late 90s/early 2000s computer being years ago, like when I was 5 or 6 maybe 8 at the most 🤣(but this is partly why I wanted to build something from that era, and bring my dads Amigas out from the garage 🤣).
Many Thanks
Squid
