My plans are to connect two floppy drives in my vintage build, one 3.5" and one 5.25" However, out of all the cables I've seen online that have the standard 34-pin 3.5" IDC connection, as well as the card edge are way too long at 24"-36" I need no longer than 20" max.
So here's my question; if I were to order a standard 2-device 34-pin 3.5" IDC cable, would it be safe to clamp on a 34-pin card edge connection? I know I'll probably have to peel the twist in the cable a bit to make sure it fits correctly. And I only have access to a bench vice.
Please reply ASAP, thank you.
