DS1 (Drive Select) was the result of some bright spark realising that a
twist in the cable could be used to determine which drive was "A"  In
practice it probably saved a lot of money for the manufacturers and
confused techies !

It sticks in my mind that it was always an output in the sense that it
was used to detect the difference between 720/144 Mb disks and set the
rotational speed, 300/360 rpm I belive.

I wonder if that is anything to do with difference in the material used
