Floppy Drive
floppy drive for the webplayer

OK, I missed something; What are the pinouts for the floppy connecter ? This subject was touched on earlier but not very well.

It has two rows of 27 contact, my external notebook floppy drive has 26 lines.

Anyone got any idea on the correct order ??

I really want to add a floppy to my WP

Did you count well??
Mine only has 26 pins. The second row isn't connected to anything and are only there to firmly place a real connector.
You can connect a laptop floppy, but if you have a webplayer without the connector, there will be no power fuse either.
On the back of the board is a place for F2, a 1.1A/40V surface mount fuse. I just connected a small wire there.
Get more info on my site:
