Hi, Norman, Older floppy drives have a switchable resistor to select the drive 0 -3 which refers to FLP1_ to FLP4_, but the modern PC HD drives have a resistor soldered onto the drive select part of the board to permanently select drive 1. The cable to the I/O card or motherboard has a twist in the control lines, which allows Drive 1 and Drive 2 to be selected.
To get PC floppy disk drives to work on a QL Disk Interface i.e. Supergold card, Gold card, a another cable is required with the drive select wires going to Drive 0 for FLP1_ and Drive Select 1 for FLP2_ I think I had some cables made up.
