Floppy power

Post by UnderTheRain »

Hi there just a quick question as I can't seem to find the answer does the internal floppy drive need the 12v? I can see on goteks that it doesn't seem to be connected to anything and I'm sure I read somewhere that some floppies might not use it only 5v and gnd.

Thanks

Brian

Some of the very early "brick" drives needed 12V. But these days none of them use it.
