< The only PC ESDI controllers I have ever found all have 2 data cable
< connectors (20 pin on the card), which can each connect to one drive onl
< same as MFM. In fact right now I can't think of any differences between
< and MFM cabling for PC's. Not sure about the twist details though.

EDSI does not generally use the twist unless that was a PC hack. The
Ultrastor EDSI controllers I hav elaying around use the esact cabling
as a pair of MFM drive on a WD 1003/5/6 controller.

The only thing in PCs I know of that use a twist cable is Floppies.
