This is incorrect. The drive should be set as drive *1* if the choice is from 0 to 3, and drive *2* if it is from 1 to 4. If you set BOTH drives as Mr. Widell suggests above, the system will still work, but the drive before the twist in the cable will be drive A:, and the drive after the twist will be drive B:. -- Theodore A.
