I have this drive that fits 5.25" and 3.5 " floppies. I also have a 5 connection floppy cable with both kinds of connections. This drive uses the larger type. I found that if I use the connection at the end I can use 3.5" disks but the 5.25" slot is ignored. If use the connection at the middle of the cable I can use 5.25" disks but the 3.5" slot is ignored. In the BIOS I can set the drive as either a 5.25 or 3.5, neither has any effect. The only difference is that part of the cable is twisted near the end, reversing the order of some of the wires. I'd like to use both slots without the need to swap the cable around to switch between them.
Can someone find information about this drive and how it's supposed to work or suggest a better method?
