The older type cable comes with both connectors, for 3.5 and 5,25.

My cable has 2 hdd connectors and one floppy connector. Are you saying mine would work or wouldn't? Or should I get another cable type to use?

What do you mean your cable has 2 hdd and one floppy connector? They can't be both on the same cable.

Alright sorry I'll get back home soon and then I'll investigate my pc cuz I haven't really looked at these cables before

Okay here's the cable for the 3.5 floppy drive. It has only one connector in it and that goes into my 3.5 floppy drive. Are you saying I can just buy a cable with compatibility for a 5.25 drive or is it more complicated?

The plugs that look like ide connectors have 34 pins, not 40. They go to the stiffy drive (3.5) and the edge connector goes to the floppy (5.25) drive. The connectors after the twist is drive a: and behind the twist drive b:

I don't see any more connectors on this cable

Not on that one, you get cables with more connectors.

That one is a more modern version for only a single a: stiffy drive, as was popular with pentiums and beyond.

So I can literally get any floppy connector I want including one with two or more drive connectors

Here is what you are looking for:

Okay cool I'll get that as soon as possible
Thank yall you're awesome I didn't understand about this until today I appreciate it

Make sure your motherboard bios supports two floppy drives (A and B), not all do.....

If it doesn't I can just use either the 5.25 or 3.5 one at a time right? Like switching out the drive for a different game

Most old systems do though.

If it supports only one, chances are it might not support 1.2 - just check to make sure.

If you do only one at a time, make sure there is a pin connector and an edge connector on the cable after the twist, so that either a floppy or a stiffy drive can be drive a:
