Does anyone know if it's possible to connect a PS/2 style floppy connector to a standard run of the mill floppy interface? I know that it isn't physically possible but was wondering if, electrically speaking, there is a corresponding mapping from the PS/2 spec to the 'standard'. Thanks in advance.

What IBM has done is to integrate the power in the ribbon cable. The pin 1-34 is the same.
