uVAX II + KFQSA + DSSI Drive and the last touch?

O.K. thanks to Jochen and Chuck and from some Google search I learned that: - terminator isn't absolutely necesary - I can hook up the round cable directly to one drive - don't need the front panel with the unit id if I set the KFQSA to be unit 0 only I could actually squeeze the round cable under the qbus backplane where the RQDX3 cable runs through. So, it looks pretty neat now. The Qbus is a full house (aren't the board touching each other possibly causing all kinds of shorts?) Anyway, my biggest problem was the power hookup which is different on the RF72 from the normal ones that any SCSI, IDE, MFM, TK70, etc. drives have. Luckily I could find a connector in my nick-nack box but I don't know if I have connected it properly, it doesn't work right. Here is how I connected: rd bl bl or/yl | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ||||||||||||DSSI||||||||||||| wt rd bl bl or I removed that connector from a little adapder board on a mounting bracket that I got with one of the drives. The traced on that board told me that the orange cable isn't connected at all and the white cable is hooked in the middle of the series of pins that make the DSSI connector. So I concluded that the white cable would better not be connected to the power feed and left it open. But somehow this isn't right. What happens now when I power up is that the drive will emit no sounds at all, like spinning or attempting to spin or seeking or anything. When I do connect my one and only front-panel I see all three LEDs lit: error, run, and read-only. And no change when I push any of those buttons. So, I suspect that my power hookup is wrong, could you tell me how this power thing should be connected?
