[GreenKeys] Woot! M15 has arrived - and I am already STUCK!

John,

Yes, that information on wiring setups would have saved a lot of time and
screwing around if I'd been aware of it from the get-go. Is there a
specific reason you put it in the 'Refurbishing' section (which I don't
know if I've even read-through) rather than the 'Connecting' section?

Seems way more germane to the latter, than the former. (Either that, or I'm
just irritated I never came across it, heh)
