Re: Missing rainbow ribbon on SSC card and need help where pins are, please!

["jagginess" <jagginess@yahoo.ca>]

Thanks Bill. I'm assuming that pin 1 is on the right column when
viewing the back of the board (whilst the golden fingers pointing down
of course), is this correct? I have the apple serial card manual, but
there's no mentioning if pin 1 is on the right or left column as on the
board, I know its on the top as the board has a print on it.
