Which way should the ASIC chip face on the Rottendog MPUSEC for the WPC-S? Pictures appreciated - the manual was non-existent on a new board and the Rottendog page for the board is DOA.

Hover over the picture with mouse over ASIC. The dot should be on the right side if I recall correctly.

Thanks!
Quoted from Brijam:
Not that I saw. Ordinary chips are obvious, maybe it's real subtle?
It is subtle, 3 sides have pointed corners, the other has a flat corner. I don't believe it can be inserted wrong without pounding it in with a mallet.
The notched corner and socket key is shown here:
PLCC's (this type of package for an integrated circuit) do have one chamfered corner to specifically orient the part when being inserted into a socket.
Can you insert it without a mallet? Well... probably. But you will be forcing it.
Look at this photo of another PLCC. Note the dot which denotes the pin 1 location (in middle of one side). To the left of the dot is always the chamfered corner.
