There are two cables connected to the floppy drive;
Power cable - 4 pins,
Data cable - 34 pins.
AnswerA standard floppy drive cable in a computer has 34 pins.
1. A floppy cable will almost always contain a small "twist" in it, in which a port of the wires are turned in reverse.2. A floppy cable has 34 pins. A PATA hard drive cable has 40 pins.
your power supply has a small plug attach to it with several larger ones that go to your cdrom and hard drive it will fit in to the back of your floppy
The floppy drive data cable has a stripe denoting pin #1...PIN #1 on the FDD cable must be aligned with PIN #1 on the drive connector, or the drive will not work...This misalignment does not damage the drive, but the activity light will stay on constantly...To correct this, turn the computer off, reconnect the data cable aligning the pins correctly & reboot the computer....

Molex and floppy drive power connectors have 4 pins. Also PCI-E and CPU power connectors have 4-8 pins.

A floppy drive cable is typically a narrow, flat ribbon cable with a 34-pin connector, designed specifically for connecting floppy disk drives to a motherboard. In contrast, an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) cable is wider, usually 40 or 80 pins, and supports larger data transfer rates for hard drives and CD-ROM drives. IDE cables often have a distinctive connector with a keying mechanism to prevent incorrect insertion, and they can support multiple devices on the same cable, whereas floppy cables usually connect only one drive. Additionally, IDE cables may have a second connector to allow for a master/slave configuration, while floppy cables do not have this feature.
EIDE cable uses a 40-pin connector at the end of the cable to interface with the drive.
They have 46 pins
34 pins in a FDD cable connector.
Typically the narrow scan cable has 50 pins.
