That was in the context of the 'mtools' programs - which do map the devices to dos-like letters but failed in the same way with a problem with the underlying device. But as someone else mentioned, if 2 drives are plugged in, it may be trying the wrong device.
if I remember correctly, PC floppies require a cable with a twisted bit in it. both drives are jumpered for disk1, and the flip makes the end drive disk0 if you used a straight through ribbon cable and both drives were jumpered for the default, then they would have collided and not worked.
its been 10 years since I've hooked one up, so this is from old memories.
