Need help with DSSI/SCSI and an ext CD-ROM

Well I plugged in the KZQSA into the Qbus, did a show qbus and didn't see
it, tried to run config and put in kzqsa, kfqsa-disk and tape, got their
address/vectors:

772150/154 kfqsa-disk
774500/260 kfqsa-tape
761300/300 kzqsa

Did a Show qbus again, but it starts at 761500 so I can't find the location
associate with it to do a set ho/ma/uq on the uqssp Controller.... arrghhhh!
Anyone know what the jumper settings are on these cards, maybe something
needs to be changed.
