Merily, for there dost are four, yes, FOUR wires on one of my acursed
connectors !

(Yes -- I've finally lost it. I spent this morning untangling botched CAT-5
wiring in the office. I'm going to ask my wife to teach me knitting.)

If both P30 and P31 are supposed to have only 3 wires, then I've got some
tracing to do tonight to see where these wires actually go.

Do you recall either of the connectors have holes plugged up with plastic
plugs ?
