The ESDI interface requires two cables, one for control and one for data. The control cable is shared between the two drives.

Each drive has each own data cable. By twisting some wires on the control cable it wont be necessary to set the ID for each drive, since the twist will do the job. Wires 25 to 29 should be twisted between drive 1 & drive 2.
