Probably a basic issue but can anyone suggest anything?
Has the floppy cable got a twist in it between one floppy drive connector and the other, or between the motherboard connector and the first floppy connector, or both?

If it has one or two twists, and both floppy drives work individually when connected to the end of the cable, then they should both work when both are connected to the cable.

If the cable has no twists, then you need to change the drive select on one drive from DS0 to DS1, or vice-versa, to get them working.
