Are you sure you're quoting the right numbers here? The numbers
that matter are the ones stamped in black on the connector
housings. I my Sirius (twin floppy model), the connectors are :
I have no black numbers printed on the connectors - only the MX- numbers
(which are moulded), and another number (starts with a 4) which is the same
on all the connectors.
I'll have another look tomorrow (er, today I mean), but I'm 99% sure there's
nothing on them.

Hmm, I may have to take the drive carrier out again to see if I've got one
of the wires tangled. From what you're saying, one of the coloured batch
belongs on B21 (J8); and it'll be a real stretch to make it reach at the
moment.
Now, from your list, J13 (B12) (5-pin connection printed on the circuit
board) should have connector 12 in it - which has only 4 pins.... Is the
unconnected pin on the LH or RH end?
because
it's the only 3-pin connector. The others, however, are a
mystery without my original reference...
I'd trace the wiring to the various bits on the chassis and plug
in as above.
I'll certainly try... But I'm not willing to re-power it until I've sorted
the power plugs...
Cheers,
Ade.
