Broken pin in floppy controller

[cbmeeks]

I have another thread going about my floppy drive with my PEB but thought I would ask a different question here.

 

In my struggles to make the floppy drive work, I noticed I accidentally bent pin 3 and destroyed it on my floppy drive controller.

IIRC, this is just another ground pin and many cables have that pin blocked off (that's how I accidentally destroyed it).

 

Now, I could easily replace the floppy connector if I needed to.  But it doesn't seem to matter as I got two different drives to work.

 

Is there any harm in leaving that pin broken off?

Likely irrelevant if it's a redundant ground
