Twisting cables instead of setting drives' DSx selectors appropriately is one of the utterly sick PC "inventions". A kind of PC-crap approach to the standard. CBM usually tried to be more sane in how they used/implemented standards (Remember? We always admired CBM's engineering teams and their achievements. The same can not be said about other divisions. Especially after Tramiel went..). Meaning it might very much be that there is no need for any "cut'n twist cable" stupidity in this machine. But we can't be sure. Especially that it's not a production machine. I guess the best is to try. -- SD! Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2014-07-20 13:00:02
