Floppy drive ribbon

Hi guys, i just completed my first build inside my old case. In it, I still have my 3.5 floppy drive. I have some important files on my old floppy disks. I know i can buy an external one, but want to see if I could still be able to use my older one. It occupies a nice compartment made for it. My P S has the power cable for it, but I need the proper ribbon cable for the rest of it. Now, through the years as I updated things, I use to grab those cables and just put them in a bag and saved them in the event that I may need one of them. I came across one that has 3 connectors, 2 are the 34 pin ones and the other end is a 40 pin...so far, so good, I think. The problem is the length of that cable. I am using a ide controller...so both of them are unmovable objects. I also have a cable that definitely says "Floppy's" at each end, but they both are the 34 pin type. Any ideas if possible to get my floppy connected?
