Compaq Deskpro286 - Documents or Help?

Hi all geeks!

I have two Compaq 286 machines that I am trying to put back together.
Unfortunately, I'm having some issues reattaching the harddrives and floppy
drives to the drive controller cards.

I seem (stupidly) to have forgotten how they go when I unplugged them. I
know, I know, it's dumb, but help a guy out anyway? :) I promise to be good
the next time, honest.

Anywho, if any of you have documentation that you can email to me, I would
appreciate, or if you can explain how to reattach the cables from the
harddrives and floppy drives to the card, I would most grateful.
Configuration appears below.

Thanks,

Tarsi

Configuration:

Compaq Deskpro286 Model 2550
Harddrive controller: WDC WD1002-WAH
        J1 is a 33 pin
        J2 is a 19 pin
        J3 is a 19 pin
Floppy drive/Printer board, has one 33 pin floppy connector
Standard(?) 5.25" floppy drive, 33 (34) pin cable.
Seagate hard drive, one 19 pin cable, one 33 pin cable.

My confusion is mostly whether J2 or J3 should be used with the harddrive,
and what the difference is.

Also, can I put dual harddrive in there? If so, how?

Thanks a mil!
