I need all the advice and info about IBM PS/2 card edge floppy drives.
I have a ps/2 drive that uses pins, if anyone can tell me if I can adapt that to card edge that would make me very happy.

IBM PS/2 8570-E61 386-16 W95

Will continue here.

I bought 2.88 drive bus powered. Seems like from PS/2. I wanted to use it in one of my builds, probably, will find ED floppies for it (or at least play with ordinary floppies, they can be formatted).

There is an adpater for PS/2 systems allowing to connect ordinary floppy drives (it also does transition from pins to side edge connector). https://texelec.com/product/ibm-ps2-to-standa … floppy-adapter/ But is there somethinbg doing oppsite thing? How can I connect this drive to my PC?
