Nice, and sounds good, but often (as here found)
just a
modern, urban legend - the IBM twist was just a genius
thing to keep part storage and maintainance costs low -
with the twisted cable you _can't_ install a wrong drive
as add on, and you _don't_ need to check any jumper or
what ever (supposed the drive is factory jumpered to #1)
Those of us who own older Tandy's are well familiar with their
drive setup- jumper all drive selects and pull pins on the cable.
Same problem, alternative solution.
