Default 3.5 Floppy question

If I buy a 3.5" floppy of the interweb will it come with the leads that I need to connect it to my mobo or will I have to buy them separatly, and if I have to buy them separatly what cables do I need?

They will not come with the cables you need.

Your motherboard should have come with them.

if not they are listed as floppy cables.
Exapmles:
Newegg.com - floppy cables

I know you are in the UK these are just to show you what you need.

Any decent mobo should still come with them as far as I know. Some of the cheap ones might not I suppose but they're still a standard cable.

It says floppy cable but the pic is wrong but then again they say the pic may not be the product shipped. Needless to say they are cheap.
