Hello,

Each drive just chains to the next drive. Make sure that the drives
you want
to chain are compatible with the interface you are hooking them up to
(is it a
5 1/4" only card, is it a UniDISK 3.5" card which will blow things up
if you attach
the wrong drive to it, etc..).

If you need DB-19 you basically have to chop them off other cables.

The only time that I can think of having an actual separate drive
cable is when
connecting a 5 1/4" DuoDISK to a Apple II.

Best,

ATF
