You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6185's onboard
connector. You can use 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
sets of 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives). The set

The set in the middle connects to the B: floppy drive.

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
