Default IDE/PATA and FDD connector question

ok the new motherboard i'm getting has one IDE/PATA connector and one FDD connector. I know i'll hook my DVD/RW drive to the IDE/PATA and my hdd through sata of course but what is the FDD connector for? I looked at my motherboard and my guess is floppy disk drive, is that all the FDD connector is used for if even?

yes its the floppy drive connector and is similar to an ide cable but has the missing pin in a different place

If you want to mine coal, you can have one big welshman with a huge pickaxe, but lots and lots of mexican children with spoons will get you more coal.
