Thanks, as I said, I did not do that, but I was concerned when I was
hooking things up, but went with what seemed natural given the ninety
degree bends and the layout of the board and the CoCo. The CoCo has a
blank filled in pin position to prevent that and the CoCo monitor
interface cable has a matching blank to make it more difficult to make
that mistake.
