ehh i just realized that my floppy cable only has two connectors, one for mobo one for floppy...it had one that had no slots filled and one with the pin 5 filled. since the mobo had no pin 5, i tried using the end without pin 5 and attaching the other to my floppy which didnt have pin 3...no luck...if i buy a new floppy will it have a pin 3 and not a 5? thanks
