No directory at all-just an access error

I hadn't thought of that. Question: do you get a different directory output listing when you change the dir to dir1?  Or do you get a disk error because both drives are trying to drive data up the cable, which won't fly too well for obvious reasons.

Some 5.25 drives, most in fact, had a jumper that could cause them to take the DS line to activate the led, and if on the other set of pins the led is tied to the motor on input.  The artwork on the pcb for the older drive would have an M# label where the # could be an s or an o, maybe an e even.  
The 3.5 is likely hard wired but might have a cut & solder bridge place on the pcb if you get out a strong enough magnifying glass.
