Making Your Own Cables?

• new cables should be 24”
  • add an inch between mobo to DF0, now 15”
  • add an inch between DF0 to DF1, now 9”

• mobo connector
  • if the FDD connectors are pointing face up then this connector points face down
  • if looking at mobo connector face up with key on the left side, pin1 is at the bottom
• DF0:
  • this is the middle connector
  • if pin1 is at the top then key should be on the right side
• DF1:
  • this is the end connector
  • if pin1 is at the top then key should be on the right side
  • the twist, pull out wire 4-6 and reverse/rotate
  • the twist should be about 1” to give it some wiggle/stretch room
