Chances are that when my cube arrives, it won't have the floppy drive.
All I know is that it is a 2.88Mb drive but I don't know how it hooks up.
Is it like the IBM PS/2 floppy drives or the old mac floppy drives where both data and power are on the same ribbon cable or are the data and power cables separate?

IIRC, the mac floppy drives are incompatible, and will do bad things if plugged into the next mobo.

It is a single cable setup, similar to a mac.

So it is proprietary to the NeXT?

I remember they were made by Sony. Ron Fronberg usually sell new ones on ebay, right now there is one.
