using floppy connection for dvd burners

[bmacgurk]

hello to you all,
                        I was wondering if it was possible to use the floppy drives connection to ad an extra burner.A lot of new computers don't have the floppy drives but the connection is there ( i'm assuming).I'm building a new computer and want know if this is possible.
                                 thanks,

No you can't.
Floppy connectors don't have the correct number of pins and the floppy controller wouldn't know what to do with a DVD drive.
I suggest you buy an external DVD burner if you're out of internal expansion options.
