Q: what kind of connector on PB100 ext floppy drive?
I have a dead PB100, for which I've ordered new backup batteries and hope to be able to turn on when they're installed. I know the main battery has croaked, and am quite sure they're no longer available.
But I'd like to get access to some of the old floppy disks that I used with the external floppy drive for the PB. Their documents are in Word, I believe. Some of the disks are single-sided.
I had assumed that the disk drive had a scuzzy connector--but it doesn't, and I don't know what its connector is called (its symbol is a little round dot on a stick, kind of a lollipop). How can I either connect the disk drive to USB and my iMac or connect the PB, if it revives, to my iMac?
Any thoughts?
Many thanks!
