[Coco] 2 x 3.5 Drives on CoCo

[Bob Devries]

Unless the drives are hard wired for DS=1, then the Coco should not have a 
twist in the drive cable. Just set one drive to DS=0 and the other to DS=1.
The PC disk drive controller has modified pinouts that are not to the same 
standard as the Coco controller.
