Installing ICs question, sammichSID *FIXED*

Hi I am in the final stages of finishing my sammichSID build, I am up to installing the Ic's.

The build guide reads,

"I recommend installing the “Bankstick†ICs (IC6, IC7, IC8, IC9, IC10) and the SIDs (IC1L, IC1R) after fully completing both PCBs, uploading MIDIbox SID firmware and having a fully working control surface. This allows you to watch the formatting of the Banksticks by the MIDIbox SID firmware."

So do I upload the firmware then install ICs (IC6, IC7, IC8, IC9, IC10) and the SIDs (IC1L, IC1R)?

When do I install ICs IC1, IC2, IC3, IC4? I seem to have missed this part...

Cheers

8. Make sure MIOS and sammich are properly hollerin' at each other

9. Upload the latest sammichSID hex

10. Wait for the sammich to reboot

11. Make sure the fancy knob and buttons are behaving appropriately

12. Disconnect power

13. Insert Banksticks (IC6, IC7, IC8, IC9, IC10)

14. Power on the device

16. Load the default patches via MIOS Studio

17. Power down the sammich

25. Marry supermodel

26. Make more killer records

27. Grow weary of supermodel wife/husband

28. Make poorly executed and ill-advised break-up album

29. Alienate your former fans

30. Take a swing at a reporter that calls you a sell-out and a has-been

31. Retreat from public life

32. Return 6 years later with amazing new album and smoking hot collection of girlfriends/boyfriends

33. Die as a legend in your chosen genre atop a pile of cash

34. Be an icon for generations of musicians to come

I think that's it.
