Yep toasted it. Was pulling some fans out of my case and had to unplug the never used thing. was doing all the work under my dest so I didn't have to pull out the case and pluged it back in wrong. Hit the power button and no boot. As i'm wondering why I'm not booting I see Smoke comming out of the back of my floppy drive! Kill the power, yank the plug and what do I see? Toasted plug. Just happy I didn't fry my mo-bo or PSU. Now to go dig around and find one of my spare floppys and repair the plug.
