Well, as a (very) few of you might remember, I have had a computer mod in the works for a very long time. I have finally gotten around to doing some work on it and have ran into a problem. My mobo has 2 ide channels and one FDC, which I don't know what that is. Anyway, I had to take the ide cables off for various reasons and when I went to hook it back up I ran into a problem. I was going to have the hd and floppy on one ide and the cdrom on the other. The catch is one ide cable has a 40 pin connector that fits the hd, cd, and mobo just right. The catch is the floppy drive only has a 34 pin connection on it. I have an ide cable that fits it just right, but it doesn't fit the mother board correctly because it is a 40 pin connection. Of course it would be silly to have the floppy with its own cable in my opinion. So here is my question, how do I get it all to work properly? I'm sure I am overlooking something, but all the solutions I've tried have failed. Thanks you guys.
