    Description

    I created this converter to allow IBM PS/1 and PS/2 computers to use standard floppy drives.  These models of IBM computers have the power provided over the 34 pin connector, which will fry a "modern" floppy drive.  This adapter routes the power out of the 34 pin connector into a traditional 4-pin Molex connector.
    There is a single jumper on the unit that allows pin 4 to either be passed through directly to the drive or to a resistor connected to ground.  The default is to directly connect pin 4 to the drive.
    This is not for systems/drives with an edge connector.  They are available here:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/304451554612
    Here is a list of models this was confirmed to work on, I will update the list as people provide feedback.

    This adapter will not work with systems that require
    media sense
    drives.  An adapter will be available shortly for these systems.
    I offer free returns if the adapter turns out to not be compatible with your system.
