  The tape drives were designed to work on the same
cable as _2_ floppy 
 drives. So they're selected by doing things that won't have 
 any effect on 
 the floppy drives. Typically they look for transitions on a 
 particular 
 line when both drive select lines are deasseted. Neither floppy drive 
 will notice that (they're not selected), but the tape drive does. 
This is exactly the explanation I was looking for yesterday.  :)
Thanks Tony.
