Default floppy drives and cables

The twisted part, consists of four active signals.
Two for each drive. The twist swaps the signals, so
that one connector can have an A personality and the
other a B personality. (Just like a CS Cable Select method.)

I've always assumed it was that, and thought it was a clever solution
(admittedly, requiring unusual cable construction).

So presumably there is something like (_at the drive_):

01 - A
10 - B

(or vice versa).

Does that mean there is the _possibility_ of _four_ drives, using up the
00 and 11 options?

I reckon in a few years we'll have GoogleBum. You'll type in someone's name
and it will show you what their bum looks like. Even if they've never posted a
nude picture, it will reconstruct their bum from bits of their face and leg
and whatever else they can find. - Charlie Brooker, RT 2014/12/13-19
