[parisc-linux] floppy disk drive for hp 712/100

[T.J.Yang]

Another question for my 712/100 wks. 
I am thinking of putting a floppy disk drive into the
empty seond bay. The ioscan output strongly indicate
the floppy disk is a reqular PC floppy drive. 

on the hp mother board, the floppy disk connetion cable
looks alright with the pc one but the power cable is 
different. It only has two wires while the PC one has
four. (That is why it is imporatent to locate the 
712/100 owner's/technical manual).

I don't have the multimeter with me now to check on the 
voltage. 

Perhaps someone done this before can help me out.

Thanks again

Pc floppy-drive use only +5V, so it's enough two wires.
+12V is unused, but present for other peripherals.
