Yes, but most ribbon connectors have a polarization key for orientation. They only fit into the motherboard socket one way. The red line is a quick check to see if the cable is flipped.Beatdiggerjazzcat wrote:If it was reversed you normally blow more than a few protect fuses.
This mistake cooks several areas on the audio line.
Sometimes but not always. More issues can be caused by plugging the 8-output board into the floppy connector rather than reversing the 8-output cable.
I have seen cables without lines and cables with the lines the wrong way around (you never know who has been playing with things)
Also... In the 4 cases I have had mpcs sent to me after a reversed cable orientation, there has been more than a few blown fuses
