Ow... we had a Rev 0 board were the ins and outs were swapped - for
the few that were made, it was "easier" to correct the fault by
chopping the pins short of the board and making "X"es with wire to
swap pairs of adjacent pins.
Obviously that got fixed before Rev 1.

I remember
when they introduced the Correct-A-Chip--intended for
applicationwhen your PCB layout guy was suffering the morning after
the night before and reversed the pins on an IC.
This reminds me of the possibly apocryphal story of the (expensive)
custom chip in a digital meter that turned out to be nothing more than a
7106 (or maybe a 7107) left-right reveresed. Apparently the designer
laied the PCB out wrongly..
