Sounds like you might have a duff cable?  Or a drive that doesn't care?  
Two jumpers on the DS row of pins maybe?  Or an accidental bridge between 
traces on the 3.5" DS less drive?  Either way that would have the effect 
of bridging the select lines together as there aren't any isolation 
buffers on any drive I have ever had.
