5.3.2 Diskette Drive Connector
The SFF, ST, MT, and CMT form factors use a standard 34-pin connector for diskette drives
(refer to Figure 5-3 and Table 5-9 for the pinout). Drive power is supplied through a separate
connector.
✎
The USDT form factor does not include 34-pin diskette drive connector. The diskette interface
and drive power signals are both a part of the MultiBay interface used on USDT form factors.
