I do not claim to be a hardware expert either, but when you hold a chip
so that the notch is poining straight up (the pins pointing away from you),
the top pin on the left is pin #1, the one below that #2, etc.  When you
hit the bottom of the left side, the next pin is the bottom one on the
right, and you continue numbering as you go UP that side.  Also, the sockets
that chips are plugged into should have some identifying mark as to which
pin is pin #1, typically a similar notch to the one on the chip.  I hope
this helps ...

So how much is a 68010 anyway?  Is it as simple as pulling the 68000 and
putting in the 68010 or is there more to it?  (I don't have disk #18)...
