Sequential makes sense, but there are no E-numbers on the board to
match up with the sockets.  I pored over the schematics (on bitsavers)
and know what the designations are for each group of 8 bits (D0-D7,
D8-D15...) but it's the correlation that was eluding me.

Thanks for all the info folks.  This is really helping.
