## The Floppy Drive Is Not Properly Connected

The Floppy Confidence test has detected a communications problem with the device because the cable was not properly connected. Verify that the SCSI cable is secure and that the floppy drive is powered on. If the cables are secure and the drive is powered on, try cycling power to the floppy drive and executing the`hinv (1M)` command to ensure that the system recognizes the floppy drive. Once the floppy drive is ready for testing execute the Floppy Confidence test again. The system output should be similiar to:
