I've been wondering about this, but the connector at the Floppy end has 
a tag and a "trim" i.e. it can't be placed any differently, and the 
other end (at the mainboard) is signed too...

In fact this (led always on) is what happens with 3.5" FDD when they're 
connected wrongly... but in that case BIOS or Windows hang while doing 
1st search...
