I don't know Omnibus, but I expect it follows the DEC connector conventions:

 http://gunkies.org/wiki/DEC_card_form_factor

and in that configuration, Pfrom left to right, the groups should be D to A.

Generally one goes from right to left, so A to D in that direction; the pins
go from A to V in that direction.
