2.2 Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)
You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the onboard connector. You
can use any combination of 5.25" (360 KB / 1.2 MB) and/or 3.5" (720 KB
/ 1.44/2.88 MB) drives. The card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive
connector cable. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector.
On the other end are two floppy disk drive connectors. The one on the end
(after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive. The one in
the middle connects to the B: floppy drive.
2.3 Parallel Port (CN4)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer.
The onboard parallel port can be accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable
connector, CN4. The card comes with an adapter cable which lets you use
a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one
end and a DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket.
The bracket installs at the end of an empty slot in your chassis, giving you
access to the connector.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed to
LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the
plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the
