re: connecting a ide floppy drive to a sata motherboard Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 7:46 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ricer46 (23825 messages posted) Floppy drives do not use IDE connectors which have 40 pins not the same as a floppy disk connector which has 34. You can't use a hard disk controller to run a floppy disk. If you do not have a floppy disk interface on your mobo, you'll need to use a usb floppy.
