slim 3.5 inch floppy drives with std connector?

[tingo]

Is it possible to get slim 3.5 inch floppy drives (internal or external) with the standard 34-pin connector on them? I got my P112 kit today, and would like two slim drives for it. But all I can find on eBay (and other places) are usb floppy drives (the ones I have opened doesn't have a standard floppy connector, they have usb chips on the PCB) or internal slim drives with a 26-pin ZIF connector.

I've only ever seen the legacy 3.5" drives with the ZIF connector. As a matter of fact, the last one I bought came with a ZIF-to-34 pin converter board.

Interesting. Did it have a small FPC cable between the converter board and the drive?

The adapters are available separately. They're not super cheap, but it's not too bad a price considering it's such an unusual part.

Like the photo shown in the eBay auction.
