2 Floppy setup for A3000

Hi
I have a problem with the floppy drives for a 3000
the problem is with the cable and the setup of the drive’s
them selves, do you set up the drives as FD1 and FD0
and does the cable between drives have some of the cable twisted

I had the same problem with an A2000. (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=22975)

You need to set the drives to DS0 and DS1. Then plug the first connector into DS0 and the second connector to DS1. Between these 2 connectors, wires 4-6 must be twisted.

I still have a spare floppy cable with twists in you could buy.
