To connect the floppy disk drive to the parallel port
If you prefer, you can connect the floppy disk drive to your computer’s parallel port using
the external floppy drive cable.
• Connect the cable directly to the floppy drive and to the computer parallel port.
Before disconnecting the floppy disk drive, use the icon in the taskbar to stop the drive,
or else shut down the computer. See “To replace a plug-in module” on page 53.

for the first time, be sure to remove the cardboard packing insert.
