not sure what it is called by name but it is a 4 pin plug most of the time.

What power connector attaches a floppy drive?
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 gets its power through what type of connector?
Mini Connector
What is the name of the power connector used with floppy drive?
berg
Which sort of power connector does floppy disk drive typically used?
4-Pin Berg connector
Explain how the two available drives on FDD data cable are distinguished?
Floppy data cable is 34 pin flat cable having two connectors for floppy drive. The floppy drive connected at the end connector is A: and the another connector disk is B:..
What power connecter should you connect to a floppy drive to a power supply?
A "Berg" connector.
What is 34 pin IDC Edge Connector used for?
Usually used as a floppy drive interface.Also the TRS-80 Model 3 used this connector for its printer connector.
What type of power connector does a floppy disk use?
It varies. There's no universally adopted external floppy disk drive standard, so it depends on the type of drive and/or computer you have. Modern (2008) external floppy drives commonly use USB (Universal Serial Bus). This isn't really a "floppy drive connector"; it's just an ordinary USB connector. The drive unit itself contains the electronics to make the floppy drive work with USB computers. The original IBM-PC line (circa 1981) included an external floppy drive option, which used a 37-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. These weren't all that common to begin with, and are extremely rare these days. The early Macintosh computers (circa 1984) included an external floppy drive port, which used a 19-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. SCSI floppy disk drives exist, but were always fairly rare. Some manufacturers introduced external floppy drives with manufacturers-specific (non-standard) connectors. Generally, you had to use the manufacturer's expansion card and floppy drive together. Some manufacturer external floppy connectors were mechanically compatible with the 25-pin D-shell sub-miniature parallel port connector. This allowed the same computer port to be used for either printer or floppy. However, parallel and floppy are not electrically compatible, so only a computer specifically designed for this would work. Dell used it in some of their laptops (Latitude C series, for example).
What type of power supply connector is used to supply power to the floppy drive light remains lit constantly How should the technician attempt to repair the problem?
The drive appears to be a bad one. Why do you need a floppy disc drive anyways?
What happens of pin 1 on the floppy drive data cable is not aligned with pin 1 on the drive connector?
The floppy drive will not work. Occasionally, an improperly installed cable will damage the drive electronics, but more often, the light on the front of the drive will stay on constantly, to indicate that something is wrong.
What is function of floppy connectors?
Floppy connectors are used to transfer data between a floppy drive and a computer via motherboard, in order to use a floppy disk. They are very similar to IDE cables, but are a little smaller, and are exclusively for floppy drives.
Which type of drive is used for external data storage attaches using a 7 pin connector and has a maximum cable length of two meters?
Sata drive
