Check to make sure the jumpers are set right, one must be master and the 2nd as slave. They must be on the right part of the cable too
If I could remember all I have forgotten, I would be a smart man.

they are set right i had 1 as master the other as slave then i swaped them round to see if they would work that way but they didnt.they both work when only 1 of the data cables are connected.but not when both are connected at same time
