[Elecraft] Reversed connections from KIO2 to KAT100

   I've hit a wall with one of the strangest situations, having simply 
not taken time to recheck all my connections on the DB9 connector from 
the KIO2 to the KAT100. I had the KIO2 pins reversed in color order, 
from 6 to 9, plugged it in to smoke test the circuit to the KAT100, and 
got "zero" results. When I checked with Gary, I was informed that some 
seven parts, on three boards, have to be replaced, and I'm wondering if 
anyone else has had this same miscue, can give me hints about what other 
problems have been caused by the miswiring? I have to do a lot of major 
surgery on the boards, and might have to realign the Control Board. Any 
hints and kinks beyond the missives I've already gotten will be 
appreciated. Murphy's Law strikes again, right at a critical time!!
