USB-to-floppy adapter for legacy drives

This KOOBOOK cable converts a USB Type A port into a 34-pin floppy interface. It is built for 1.44 MB simulated floppy drives and works with Windows XP, ME, 7, 10 and Mac systems. The 1.6 ft copper cable provides a direct male-to-male link for data transfer.

Plug-and-play fit for modern PCs

The adapter needs only a free USB Type A port and a standard 34-pin floppy drive power connection. It removes the requirement for an internal floppy controller or a 3.5 inch drive bay. No extra drivers are required for the listed operating systems.

Replaces missing onboard floppy headers

Use this when a motherboard lacks a 34-pin connector or when the original cable is damaged. It supports 1.44 MB drives only; 720 KB and 1.2 MB drives will not work. The jump is worth it for reading legacy disks on hardware that has no floppy interface.
