[MACEP] Old 5.25 floppy drive hook up

[Richardson, Jim]

OK,
 
Have to admit this has me stumped. 
I have some old 5.25" floppies that my father in law saved some family data on that I want to recover and transfer to the HD.
I located a dual floppy 3.5 and 5.25 drive at Free Geek. It has a standard IDE style power connector and an old school data connection and I picked up an older floppy data cable that matches up.
 
When I install it in my Intel motherboard/P4 system only the 3.5" drive will power up.......it reads and writes fine so pretty sure the data cable is good and the combo unit is getting power.
 
But I can't get the 5.25 to light up or show up at all. Checked the BIOS settings and it only has settings for an A drive that can be set to a 5.25.........did that, no difference.
 
Any ideas ?
