[sdiy] MIDI socket diagram

[Dave - Dendriet.nl]

> Everything I've seen so for is drawn from the side which is visible to the end user, i.e. the side where things are connected by cables, not the wiring side.

I understand Thomas' confusion, and since the pins on din plugs are
not numbered, it's really hard to tell which pin is 5, and which is 4.
Your sentence does not clear it up, I'm afraid, since I would call the
wiring side the side to which I solder the cable. This 3D drawing
