Some drive cables actually have a twist in them so that you can leave all the
drives physically configured as drive 1 but the selection lines are twisted so
the one on the end of the cable only recieves a drive 1 signal when the
computer sends a drive 2 signal. etc etc Makes it a lot easier to move drives
around - applies to floppies too (but different wires need to be twisted)
