I would like to buy an external 5.25inch floppy disk drive for my NEC PC-9821Ce.

The PC9821CE has a 50pin Mini Centronics connector for an external 1MB Floppy Disk.

Can I connect any 50 pins external floppy drive to this connector or does it require a specific model?

btw, here are photos of the connector:

As far as I know, given it's a HPCN50 port, just an external SCSI 1/2 drive should work, if you manage to find a cable or an adapter...

Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't know how this port is called. I've managed to find a cable (pretty expensive though). Now I can finally buy an external FDD
