A trivial gotcha if you're not paying careful attention:
The numbering of the connectors of the cardedge is even numbers on one
side and odd on the other. Thus 1 is opposits 2, 33 is opposite 34. But
the numbering on the "centronics amphenol" ("blue ribbon"?) is 1-18 on one
side and 19-36 on the other side.

I don't remember whether the external floppies, which are the third and
fourth floppies, are expected to be jumpered as drive 0 and drive 1, or as
drive 2 and drive 3.
