The voltages are the same.  Cut the floppy connectors off of the bad one
and splice them into a newer replacement.  The issue now is the power supply
case size and mounting.  I don't remember how those changed from the older
case styles.

Thanks, all.  Floppies aren't a problem; I need the motherboard power
connector that's the old single row (usually broken into two Molex parts).
