AFAIK Diego, all 3.5 drives are factory programmed as drive 1, and the twist 
in the end section of the cable makes the one on the end of the cable drive 
0.

Set the 5.25 as drive 1, and use a twisted cable with the 5.25" on the 
untwisted connector in the middle.  No terms on the 5.25" either.  

Theoretically that should work, but then we've all seen that sig that says its 
a long way from theory to practice. :-)

I have some (ALPS brand, i think) that can be set to drive 0 or drive 1 by removing/adding a solder bridge between pads on the  circuit board.  You have to take the cover off the drive to get to them, though.
