Hi, everyone! I just bought, quite cheap on my local market (no $Ebay$, thank God...) a CMS 360-U case for 5.25" floppy drive. I had a spare drive so I've connected into the case. It has no power cord, just a db25 female socket. So my question is: what do I need to make it work on a PS/2 model 30 8086? My guess is I need a db25 male-male cable to connect it to the parallel port. I read somewhere that some parallel ports can give power, up to 5v. Is this correct? Maybe a DOS driver would be needed? (I hope not...) I ordered the cable but still hasn't arrived. Do you think it will work just this way or will I need an ISA card for connecting external drives?
Thanks for your help!
