Five and quarter drives

Hi Kevin,

The following may be only a figment of my faulty memory, or a feature
of a particular brand, but the key notch on the ribbon cable connector
is closest to the power supply on the HD floppy drive and closest to
the edge of the board on the DD drive. The DD is more likely to have a
black bezel, the HD is more likely to have a grey one - but I've got a
grey DD sitting in front of me.

Good luck!

-- Bill
