Among all the fanning and blowing and spinning, the disk
seek can be pretty faint. No, I did not hear the disk
seeking and it all went suspiciously quick. I may
not have proper connection between KDB50 and disk. The
disk shows both ports A and B enabled, and I'm connected
only to A. Is there any ordering of the 4 ports on the
KDB50 bulkhead that I need to know to get it right?
