All right you know the connector you use to plug in your PSU into your HD or cdrom drive thats a molex connector.

Its has four pins and is rectangle shaped with four wires coming out the back.

Hope that helps you figure it out.

And if you really want to impress people...the power connector that plugs into your floppy drive is actually called a Berg connector.

Now you know (you may not have wanted to...but too bad. HA! Ya learned something today, and there's nothing you can do about it.......mua-haaaa-haaa-HAAAAAA!

Well, I suppose you could get really liquored up, and black out, and possibly forget everything that's happened to you today...or write your Congressman, and complain about people forcing knowledge down your throat without wanting it, but....



Welcome to the Forums, BTW....
