[Coco] 3.5" floppy cable

CoCo drive cables do not have a twist in them. They usually have pulled pins 
at each connector for the drive select. Drive 0 is the furthest from the 
controller connector, as that drive should be terminated. If you manually 
set the drive select on each drive, you don't need to pull pins.

I built a 3.5" drive cable, and after I put the 9-16 twist in it, the drives
light up when I type in DIR2 or DIR3. Is the twist for a coco 3.5" floppy
different than for the PC?

Thanks
