I see a 2x17 connector on the back of this floppy. One pin is missing.

And there is a floppy pinout listed here, for reference.

What do you see on yours ? How many pins do you count ?

An IDE connector for hard drives, has a 2x20 connector. Did you
grab an IDE cable perhaps ?

And a standard floppy drive (yes, its a test question for both you and any
replies) has how many pins?

Motherboard common abbreviaton is what?

A ZIP drive is an ide device regarding the subject if appropriate. That
cable pin number count also has a common pin number count. What is it? (to
repliers). Nevermind, LPT port type or USB Zips.

Another common "floppy" drive" used in the past is the LS-120/240. This was
commonly an ide device. There's others, but I'm not guessing anymore.
