The power connectors used by both 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch floppy drives are 4-pin connectors. The larger connector--used by 5.25-inch drives--is called a Molex or peripheral cable. This type of cable is also used by IDE/ATA hard drives and optical drives. The smaller 4-pin cable used by 3.5-inch floppy drives is generally called a floppy power cable.
One end is the Centronics connector and the other end is 25 Pin D type connector.
I tried to use the cable with an HP 2100 printer with parallel connector. It woulld not work with either Window XP or Windows 7.
