This has non-keyed connectors - that's a good thing.
I needed this cable to test out a TEAC 3.5" drive with a manufacturing date back in 1991. That was before drive connectors were keyed in any way; you needed to read the silkscreening on the drive, and at the motherboard or floppy card, in order to see which way to plug in the ribbon cable. My drive has no pins omitted, and no notch in a molding around the pins, in order to help the user.The first ribbon cable I tried was keyed at both ends, with pin 3 blocked - it was therefore useless to me. By comparison, this ribbon cable was exactly what I needed and works well. ** If you're not familiar, the red edge of the ribbon cable aligns with Pin 1 at both your floppy drive and at the motherboard/floppy board header.** On my motherboard, there wasn't any marking for Pin 1, but the motherboard had a silkscreened thick line going around only that corner of the header to indicate it.

Good cable
Not much can be said a out a ribon cable. The cable was constricted nicely and like the origional cable for floppy drives it was made for both types of connectors used on them. I would buy this cable again.

Great quality and works fine.
Purchased mostly to be used with a GreaseWeazle and archiving floppy disks. This floppy cable worked fine and did the job both for my 3.5" and 5.25" needs in conjunction with the other equipment.

It's a floppy cable
It's a floppy cable, it works, no issues, bends just fine, doesn't seem flimsy or weak.

Works great for 5.25" floppy drives
Needed this to add a gotek to my trs-80 model 100 DVI system and keep the original flippy drive working which had an edge connector

Great retrofit
Neede to transfer some old 5 1/4" floppy files to a flash drive. The old drive had edge card connector and I didn't have the cable with that end on it. These guys came through and I am now able to use the old floppy drive to transfer files. Shipped quick. Thanks.
