I also have a 286 Zenith with two HDs installed ( I installed them!)

>From what I know, you do not use 'TWIST RIBBON CABLE' for HDs.  They
have a common straight ribbon cable.  Yes, I am currently looking at
the owner manual and the HD common cable does not have a twist.  If
you can not get the drive to select properly this could be the problem,
but do be sure to set you jumper/dip switches correctly for addressing!
