Floppy drives missing pins?

I was just wondering if someone knows why these floppy drives are missing pins? I need one for my flash since I just broke mines. I'm looking at my broken one and it's not missing any pins.

Just want someone to clear this up for me... it just has to work for making a DOS startup disk and storing the bios flash files and working during the flash - it's all I ask. Thank you.

Floppies have 34-pins, 2 rows of 17. The top row being the even number pins (2-34), the bottom being the odd numbers (1-33). The bottom row of pins are all ground, so if some are missing like as seen in the drives you linked to, it probably wouldn't make any difference one way or the other.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Why not flash from a USB stick?
