The floppy signals come out from the same connector on the motherboard
that is used to connect a hard drive.  The floppy connector itself is
the other large connector on the hard drive cable.  There are a couple
things to watch out for:

1)  Plug orientation - you shouldn't really damage anything, but it
won't work if you get it wrong.  The pins on one side are all grounded.

2)  Drive ID - PCs always want their drives jumpered to ID 2.  The
VAXstation wants drive ID 1.  There should be a jumper on the drive to
change this.  It is often in a group of jumpers labelled DS1 through
DS4.  

If everything works right the drive should be DUA2
