I am unable to get my system to recognize my 2nd Floppy Drive.
I have checked all Bios Setup Settings, Drive Letter Congigurations, etc.,
but the system continues to see only one of my Floppy Drives at a time.

I have checked my Floppy Cable and Power Cables.
System will see either Floppy Drive (as Drive A:) when hooked up
Individually,
but not both of them (as Drive A: & B:) when hooked to Master/Slave
connections
on the same cable.

What am I missing here?

I think newer motherboards don't even bother having support for two floppy
drives.

I think newer motherboards don't even bother having support for two floppy
drives. The floppy cable that came with my motherboard only had a connector
for one drive anyway.
 
BIOS's and the floppy controller on motherboards these days will only handle
up to ONE floppy. You cannot use two.
