Need help with IDE cable connections/floppy drive?
So on my motherboard i have 2 dvd/cd drives connected with 1 IDE cable, and originally i was going to find an external enclosure for an internal floppy drive of mine so i could use it on my computer, but havent found one. My question is, if i get an IDE cable that has 3 connections, for 1 connection to dvd drive/1 connection to cd drive/1 connection to floppy drive, will it work? And also will I need an IDE controller card and how would that work?
Unfortunately I dont have any open 3.5″ drives on my case for the floppy drive, but i have the side panel of my case open so I figure even if i connect the floppy drive internally,i can always set it atop the outside of my case, or on its side on my desk.
You can get something that converts the 5.25″ drive into a 3.5″ drive, so you can still set it inside your case. Also, I thought that floppy drives used FDD, not IDE
