[Coco] MPI and NitrOS-9

[Brett Gordon]

No twist on coco fdc.
5.25", if no select jumper or terminator, then this drive should be drive
0, on inside of cable.  Hopefully your 3.5 does have jumpers and a
term..make it drive 1, on the end of the cable.  You can usually get away
with no terminator, in my experiences.

driveselect as side select yields 6 max sides,  driveselect as well, a
driveselect, is only 4 sides.   So max three drives give you the most room.
