door to the regular Radio Shack (my RSCC was adjacent) and buy a
terminator for $.99. Nobody that I knew ever bought two 26-1160
drives.

It sounds like it might be working. It's been
a long time since I booted my
Model 1, but from memory, if the ROM basic detects a disk controller, it
attempts to boot from drive 0, and hangs if it can't do so.
Also! Remember
that the last drive in the chain must be the model 1160
as it is the one with the terminator! If you don't have an 1160 it may not
boot at ALL. If you have both, the first drive (I think) is always drive 0
and that is where the boot disk should go.
