Hey, it looks like this thing's going to go together for cheap (the only part I'm not buying is the DB-25 connector). The whole thing will be about $40 USD, including 5 PICs to start with...
I was wondering, though--on the schematic, it specifies the way that different chips are placed in the socket. I'm assuming that they always face the same direction as the socket, and go in like this picture:

Is this correct?
Again, thanks for the help!
