OK, now that we are finally away from the wall socket talk of which I know 
there are standards, it's interesting that you mentioned the above colors. 
Because on the motm power supply, it appears that white is hot and black 
neutral. But even if wall sockets and power supplies are wired up to some 
standard, that gets shot to hell if the makers of removable power cord don't 
follow a standard as I have come across.
