True, there is an attempt to make it difficult to do so (the pins are offset to one side of the plastic plug, and there is an "almost latch" on one side), but it *is* possible to jam it in backwards. The plastic is soft, and the pins easily bent. Be gentle when you plug it in, and make sure you choose the easier of the two ways it could go. -- Eric Black "Garbage in, Gospel out" Atherton Technology, 1333 Bordeaux Dr., Sunnyvale, CA, 94089 UUCP: {sun,decwrl,hpda,pyramid}!athertn!ericb Domainist: ericb@Atherton.COM
