Jinx, thank you for your advices, I took them accordingly and they
didn't upset me.
But I have took a second (or even more) look at that datasheet, and if
the pin no. 1 is E I'd say it is an EBC pinning, isn't it ? Anyway, the
pinning I have is CBE...

I think he probably is too, but I was trying to impress on him to be
extra-cautious in a situation where one mistake is going to cause
a lot of unnecessary work. A stitch in time and all that. Not that he
needs lessons from me. I've done it. 10 boards that need stuffing,
the pupils dilate, and you get stuck in. Then ooops, oh fairycakes,
on #9 you realise that a cap is backwards. Or my favourite, which
still haunts me - designing a board from the wrong side and all the
chips had to go on the solder side. Upside-down with their pins
bent over their heads like they're surrendering. Fudge, that was a
lot of chips........
