Help! I have a Soyo P4I875P Dragon 2 P.E. and a Thermaltake XaserIII V2000A case, and I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to connect the damn firewire connectors to the header on the m/b.

The pins on the m/b are labeled (#1-10, respectively): A1PC, GND, B1PC, (no pin), PWR1, A1MC, CGND, B1MC PWR1, CGND. But the connectors for the port on the case are labeled: GND, GND, VG, VP, TPA+, TPA-, TPB+, TPB-.

First, I'm one connector short. There's two power pins, labeled the same, and only one power connector. Three grounds...I might say that I've figured out which correspond to which, but I'm always wrong. And I've figured out that A goes to A and B goes to B, but I don't know which is positive and which negative.

Someone please help!
