Floppy to Molex (IDE) adapter

[z06psi]

My new video card has two inputs for a Molex connector but I only have 1 available and one on the CD-ROM. Can I convert the floppy connector into a Molex ready for the CD-ROM. I have seen the adaptors that convert Molex into floppy but not the other way around. Thanks

you can get an adapter that turns the one into two. Quick question what kind of video card you running make sure your power supply can handle the extra load my guess its a pretty weak power supply if thats all the connectors it has.

It is a OEM Gateway 350W PSU and the card is a EVGA 9800 GT 1024Mb edition. If the power supply has issues I have a 550 on standby. The connector for the 9800 GT has two Molex into one 4 pin connector to supply the extra power. I will power it with one of the Molex and see how that goes.

check your rails!

just because a PSU is rated at 550 Watts,
does NOT mean that each rail can deliver
that amount of DC power

there should be a UL plate mounted on
the housings of your PSUs: that plate
should display the amperage maximums
for each of 3 primary voltages:
3.3, 5.0 and 12.0


"UL" = Underwriters Laboratories

Well this is the card.

And the power supply that I have ran another system with a Core i7 860 and a GTX260 OC'ed without a problem. I am upgrading my sons computer with the 9800GT
