Summary

[edit | edit source]

Photograph comparing the twisted 34-way cables used in IBM PC family computers: on the left the floppy drive cable and on the right the hard drive cable, labelled by hand. A different group of conductors is twisted in each. The note on the image says the floppy cable shown is for IBM PC family computers and that some clones are not designed to use it.
