I'm sure. The end of the internal connector is hard up against the base of
the simm socket, and you can clearly see where each pin goes especially
when the 1260 and SCSI-Kit are separate.

This is now the opinion of my supplier who is sending me a replacement to
try out. See earlier post today.

Very happy with increased speed over my 030 though, especially with any
graphic or rendering tasks.

I mainly wanted the SCSI-Kit so that I could dispense with the squirrel,
higher transfer rates too.
