The turbo R has two drive connectors, which are not equal. The connector
for drive A uses DS0 as drive select, the one for drive B uses DS1 as drive
select. There are more differences: disk change and motor on.
If you want to install the drive as A:, use the drive select, disk change
and motor on from the first drive connector. If you want to install the
drive as B:, get those signals from the second drive connector. For all
other signals, it doesn't matter, they're equal on both connectors.
Power supply: 5V and GND are part of the turbo R connector. 12V isn't, but
most drives don't need that. If your drive does need 12V however, get it
from the main power supply.
