Abstract
A connector for interfacing a disk drive, into which a floppy disk is to be loaded, with a controller card of a personal computer. The connector replaces the printed circuit board which has previously been used to interface the disk drive and computer. More particularly, the connector includes socket and plug portions which emulate the box connector and edge card, respectively, of the conventional circuit board interface. Accordingly, and by virtue of the presently described connector, the disk drive may be more directly and reliably interfaced with the computer while eliminating the conventional printed circuit board and the relatively high cost and space consumption that are characteristically associated therewith.
