My floppy cable had sufficient length between the adapter connector &
the 1st floppy connector that I just added an additional connector
between them, no twists in the cable, connector pin 1 in line with the
existing connector's pin 1.  With CMS firmware vers. 40 or later,
there's no conflict with the CMS + 2 floppies.
