Using the new Turbo Freezer (Q&A)

Here's a thread (mostly) for the many new users.  I'm sure there will be lots of questions, and probaly better to "start fresh" rather than bury it in the old pre-order thread.

Here's my first question  -- the IDE+2 works fine on the XE, but on the XL, it will not come up.

When powered from the joystick port, is the +5 VDC power carried through the adapter to the "pass-thru" XL adapter? (Probably not.)  -OR- If the power is taken from the XL connection on the computer is that carried through?  

If not, then it seems that a separate connection would need to be made to power the IDE+2.  If separate, I presume that would mean that there is no problem to have the Freezer connected via the joystick and the IDE+2 connected from *either* an external power adapter or from the XL bus via a wire adapter?

Edit: I looked at the traces and checked the continuity.  The trace does go from the +5 VDC input from the joystick to the "power pin" on the pass-thru connector (PBI pins 47 + 48).  Didn't see anything in the IDE+2 manuals that explain the powering options, but I seem to remember that the +2 can be powered from the XL via the +5 VDC pin on the pbi connector (if connected).  Since the question is answered for the Freezer, maybe best to pose this to Simius.
