Why floppy cable with cable twisted
Because floppy drives do not have a master or slave jumper,
the drives are defined by cable select, which can be identified by looking for the cable twist as shown in the pictures. Like an IDE cable, most floppy cables also have a red strip along one side of the ribbon cable to indicate pin one. Today, if any floppy drive is in the computer it would be connected to "Drive A:" and the end cable connected to the motherboard.
