port question for a portable floppy disk

by Carol Potter Nov 11, 2009 3:05AM PST

I have a IBM portable floppy disk drive that came with my older IBM laptop. I sold the laptop, but now want to sell the floppy disk drive. I don't know what to call the connection. It is not a usb, but a connector similar to a printer connector only slimmer and smaller. Does anyone know what it is and what to call it? I am going to put it on Ebay if it is worth it. Carol

Tell what IBM it worked on. Those were PROPRIETARY and never worked on other than IBM laptops.
