Hmm, I was not aware of that, thanks for the info. Always good to know
possible causes of failure. Now there's one more to add to the pile.

There are multiple issues here.
First, if you want to use both floppy drives, your floppy cable must
have both connections on it, since there is rarely more than a single
floppy controller slot on a motherboard.
A quick note on this - if the motherboard is after a certain era, a
two drive cable won't help. As a cost reduction measure, chipset
manufacturers dropped the 2nd drive select pin off of the controller.
The BIOS configuration screen should reflect this by only showing
configuration information for a single floppy drive.
apologies for the noise if this doesn't apply. :)
