Floppy Problem

[Vic]

I have an A7N8X Deluxe PCB 2.0 and I am trying to run with two floppies in
the system. How do I do it?
In the motherboard manual it shows on the Main Menu of the Bios that I can
set Floppy A and Floppy B but on my board all I see is the Floppy A no B.

Need a little help

Both floppy drives use the same cable - you need an old-style floppy cable
with two connectors.

You need a cable with an extra edge connector to connect the extra
floppy drive to, and connect them with that cable to the controlller on
your motherboard.
