Title: Floppy Ribbon Cable
Post by: bullfrog on August 09, 2019, 11:18:12 AM

I am attempting to get hard drive information from an old FreeNAS setup.  It has a cut floppy ribbon cable (34 pin).  In my interest to purchase another to replace it, I have found several available on eBay but they identify the cable as 'simulated'. 

What is the difference between simulated floppy ribbon cable and 'non-simulated'?

Example:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/34Pin-simulated-floppy-drive-extension-cable-flat-ribbon-cable-55cm-21-65inch-BH/183912797270?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item2ad20e9456:g:LmYAAOSwobJcnevw&enc=AQAEAAAB4BPxNw%2BVj6nta7CKEs3N0qWZehkqmp3TTMDE2GvetS%2FD96YjCwfQp8iYOo0Ii1UzjgraP2iAswvPcewe6oGvY1mbG%2BEuN2ZTdV5QHtYwELgY8SjK30zXOjwvckIsJBDIn4XVFxcLkL93wrNfaoRATAFMkl4rrz82MFIczuOMWMNVrzDoq6a4cULxFdZTLRxGITN43zjheiJJXJ8Ies9yVu7YlHZR1i1BRGzT0XXlQzaCLPkVVHadzZ03bU5oUvwYqTgZrGebfrZWBFraNi0dWqYTscGLueeYQs0dS0LR9xS1nMaZ0l4sRZFuhtQ65IfU6GWgC9MyDzxY9%2B9f%2FmzSjxqwJyBNtpLZ8tMt%2BgNZgxD3lb%2BWqrqTtmD7fGqk%2FtGfkGQ0morCSzTtcLvVvXdU5MonT0LTa0KZgxou5OMX4ZGPMeMuRX9gGAVqdWcv0tmTC4WCbgb6VFNKRWaKJBd%2BChn0%2FKfGGZH08WpZmgHkha5zFDWcxzhYhLdZBsm1T5A1gKsaUvtA%2FBNSrUPBvn%2FaIpFi6VK%2FiegAUh5je5boHULebuHTgC24N%2FLZ66Jjc6b8x984hlmqUTYuxHr%2FTAr6GNwdlj2uP1%2FmH%2B6oWnNBhP0Gjma4f5qLtCZsKdriEuUasg%3D%3D&checksum=1839127972708aefc801a0954b58876633852d2b40d9

There is no difference...
