>>Hi Dick.

>>Thanks for pointing out this. I think this must be included in the manual.

>>The marking of pin 1 on the PCB is correct but on the 90 deg shrouded
>>header that is mounted on Hermes, the marking for pin 1 is near J27
>>according to normal standard.
>>
>>I think I am a bit responsible for this fault as I was the one that
>>suggested to change from the 25 pin D-connector used on Penny (and USB
>>Hermes). The "real estate" on the Hermes board is limited and the 26-pin
>>header takes less room. We also discussed using a 30 pin header to have
>>more I/O´s available but but had to stay with the 26 pin. This explains
>>the 30 pin mentioned in the BOM.

>>It is very difficult to catch every miss and remember, Murphy always rules!
