Hi Jim, Yeah, that's not exactly clear. The floppy comes with a removable cable. That cable - at the end away from the floppy - has a DB25 connector. However, the floppy fits on the end of the TP floppy cable, so you would not use the cable that comes with the drive. Another way to look at is: the removable cable connection on the Dell floppy from bgmicro is identical to the one on the TP floppy (assuming all TP floppies that have removable cables use the same drive enclosure and connector).

No Thinkpad external floppy that I know uses a DB-25 connector. Are you SURE this will fit? Are they wrong about the connector on the floppy?
