I'm trying to configure a 3rd RD disk to a RQDX3 on a MV-II.

The RQDXE manual says it can support 4, but doesn't give the switch settings.

Configuration:
                 MV-II RQDX3 --- to RQDXE #1 (input)

 		 RQDXE #1
                  INTERNAL(J1) --- to DUA0 (CPU BA23)		
 		    INPUT (J2) --- from RQDX3
 	          EXTERNAL(J3) --- to RQDXE #2

 		 RQDXE #2
                  INTERNAL(J1) --- to DUA1 (CPU BA23-C)		
 		    INPUT (J2) --- from RQDXE #1
 	          EXTERNAL(J3) --- to RD54-D

 		 RD54-D (external drive)
                  INTERNAL(J1) --- to DUA2 (same box)
 		    INPUT (J2) --- from RQDXE #2
 	          EXTERNAL(J3) ---  empty
                   
The default switch settings are used for RQDXE#1.  There doesn't seem
to be any switches on any of the drives. (including RD54-D)  What I 
need is DIP switches for the second RQDXE.

The manual gives configurations w/o descriptions and both DEC's 800# and
local field service haven't been much help so far.

 						thanks....  Robert
