My thanks to everyone who replied concerning my 2 floppies
and the lights that were always on.  Apparently the
problem was that I had put the ribbon cable connectors
on the wrong drives. As it turns out there is a 'twist` (
3 wires are reversed in order) on  the 2nd(terminating)
 connector and
it MUST go into df0:  - Silly me, I didn't think it mattered
which connector on the ribbon went to which drive since all
the jumpers were indeed set correctly - I must have been thinkign 
autoconfig or something.  

MORAL:  Those of you who someday bother to install a 2nd
internal floppy (It's worth it to me for $90) do NOT unplug
the ribbon cable on your current df0: or if you do put it back
on the original df0 drive! The ribbon (non power) connectors
are associated with their respective df_:'s.
