Floppy Drive Pinouts

34-pin Header Interface Non-Media Sense
34-pin Header Interface, Media Sense

Extracted from PS/2 3.5-inch Diskette Drives Technical Reference (S42G-2194-00),
2nd Ed., Oct 1992, pages 10-12.
NOTE: There are differences between
the 1990 Tech Ref and the '92 Tech Ref Signal names for the Enhanced 34-pin
interface. See the Notes below the table. I believe the additional definition
is related to the floppy controller used for the EE floppies.
Signals and voltages are transferred between the system board
and the diskette drives by a cable or printed circuit board. The printed-circuit
board provides a 2- by 20-pin card edge connector for each diskette drive,
with a locator key between pins 34 and 36. The cable interface provides
a 2 x 17-pin header connector to each diskette drive, with a locator key
below pin 17. ) The following figures show the signals and DC voltages
for each diskette drive connector type:
