My new computer did not come with any floppy drive and I never see any
need to install one since nothing done on floppies is not now done on
CD. So, I wonder if I can use that 34 pin connection on the motherboard
for something else. Does anyone know of an adapter cable to connect a
hard drive to the floppy socket? Any other types of drives like ZIP that
can connect where the floppy drive used to go?
 
No. The only other device I've ever known (in 20+ years in IT) to use a
floppy connection were some old style tape drives. Floppy based tape drives
were too small a capacity to be of any current use and are not supported in
Windows XP or Vista in any case.
 
Nope. That is only for a floppy drive. Nothing else. It doesn't matter
if it just sits there unused. I haven't had to used a floppy in ages! :)
