Re: Re: Pin 12 ground - NOT GOOD !

Pin 12 is being pulled to ground by pin 8, and pin 5 and 6 are being pulled to ground by pin 8 when the appropriate side of the switch is closed. This is still how it's described in the 2003 OI Reference. Do you think that the 2003 OI Reference is also incorrect?
Since pin 12 and pin 15 were connected, originally, for channel access, I must have mixed them. The original 2000 Docs call for ground on 15 and 8 (the two end pins on the connector, but 15 is no longer to be used as ground.

I've had a match timer that disables controllers and allows channel selection since last year, and pin 8 is the sole ground used.
