21 pin model 1 - where does the +5 power wire go to?

The Instructions wrote:For the 5v power you can splice into the red wire thats going to the power supply on the lid, for the Saturn that has the power supply on the bottom half you can connect to the im not sure yet.

I'm not sure either. My PSU is not in the top so I don't have that molex plug to get into. I have something similar to what the V2 Saturns use to get power, but instead of 4 connectors I have 5, so I'm not sure which one I should try. They seem to be labeled, but not well enough that I can figure out which one to try (and since one of them is evidently +9v I don't want to pick the wrong one :p )
Even the instructions at Rob Webbs site for the model 1 chip seems to reference a different board layout than I have.

I can't remember now, but I checked with a multimeter

Good idea. The middle one seems to give off a 3.3V signal.
Now I need to make it work :p Non-spinning CD.

Gar, the chip needs to face the other way! But I don't have enough ribbon to do it!
