Subject: D'oh! EC2 wire list error

 Thought this might be the quickest way to get the word out to many of the
EC2 users out there.

There is an ERROR on the EC2 wiring list.  I will be sending all owners the
corrected sheets but here's a heads up so you can correct it now.  The pins
#10 and #24 are reversed on the EC2 connector.  If it is easier, you can
reverse pins 4 and 10 at the programming panel instead.  This error has the
effect of disabling program modes 4 thru 8.

 Found the error while tracking down an anomoly on Charlie Airesmans' EC2.
I fly the latest version of the EC2 BUT I'm still using my old EC1 control
panel which is different.  D'oh!  What really confused me is that I do bench
test every EC2 with the same  panel that it is shipped with.  I had wired
the test rig up before making the wirelist page of the installation guide
which is where the error got in.
