I have learned I likely blew the fuse providing power to the external floppy drive on my Toshiba Portégé T3600CT. The crime? I plugged an IBM ThinkPad floppy drive with the SAME EXACT GODDAMN CONNECTOR into it. ThinkWiki says:
"ATTENTION!
Also Toshiba produced a cable with same connectors as IBM 74H0219. Toshiba 20mm connector pinout is different: at the very least, pins for power and ground are shorted relative to IBM. Tip by Ziginox."
