The cable should have a "twisted" section between the two connectors for the drives that automatically handles the drive ID change for you. Both should be jumpered identically. (Even though some CBM documentation says otherwise!) And beware of the connector at the motherboard end of the cable. One pin is cut from the board and is used as a key in the plug.
