I have the RQDXE User's Guide scanned and about to be uploaded
somewhere. That has a diagram that may help (at least if you
are using a BA123). I can email that directly to you if you
need it right now.

If you are using a BA23 then one of the MicroVAX II Maintenance
Guides available on the net should sort you out.

FWIW the cable from RQDX3 to RQDXE and from RQDXE to the
internal panel are both BC02D-01. From the internal panel
to the drive is (AFAIK) just the usual PC-style IDC cables.
