The floppy drive in many PowerBooks is a half-height version of the tried-and-true Desktop floppy. A 20-pin interface, of course. Those PBs which support a plurality of plug-ins (floppy, CD, Zip, battery, etcetera) use as many as three different physical interfaces: floppy, battery, and everything else. The "everything else" interface is pretty much EIDE plus power. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
