Possible Quickstart Proto Board Kit Documentation error ???

Okay, I haven't had my Mountain Dew this morning, but it seems to me the Quickstart Proto Board Kit documentation is incorrect.
On the last page it says to use the labels on the side of the board that says "P8X32A QuickStart Proto Board" for the overlapping configuration.
But that would be on the bottom of the board ? From what I see I should use the side that says "PARALLAX SEMICONDUCTOR" for the overlapping configuration.
I think they have them backwards.

Can someone confirm this ? Or am I missing something...

    Bean, I see 'Parallax Semiconductor' on both sides, except the one on the bottom is a URL. But on my board, I don't find any reference to the words "Proto Board".

    I have a Proto board that says Propeller Proto USB on the top side.
    On the bottom there is a bunch of stuff - PARALAX INC and the address along one side.
    In the middle under the processor is says a lot.

    My QuickStart board, on top right corner says P8X32 QUickStart 40000 Rev A
    On the bottom it says P8X32 Quickstart, fairlty large along the top edge
    and had the www address above the signature block.

    But what is a QuickStart Proto board?

    Rumor mill has it that there will be a version of the Protoboard with the QS connector...

    I fixed the documentation and sent it off to our web department. The new version should show up tomorrow.

    That would be sweet.

    The square layout on the protoboard is not all that handy...
    Unless you were trying to emulate a Hydra or such?
    But for more than 8 bits at a time, well, you know.

    Thanks David. I guess I'm the only person that actually reads the documentation ;)
