Yes, although it’s not specific to MFOS; my first use was on a Haraldswerk board.
Another 10 in production right now…

Here’s an updated pic of mine. I’ve dumped the individual wine crates I had, as there was five and the whole thing was getting a bit big. So I took all the Kosmo modules out and put into one big cabinet. Also I bought some cool metal brackets for my patch cables. They are vintage medical spreaders for keeping you open while they operate on you. Nice!

I’m trying to find out which pin is 1 of this SOIC packaged TL074 quad opamp. Normally I wouldn’t use the text orientation as a lead, but there is little else here:
The small indent in the middle on the left side is very similar to the indent on the right, so I’m at a loss here. Anyone?
From the ST datasheet:
One edge should be beveled, and that is the edge pin 1 is on. Certainly not obvious from the picture but maybe from another angle you can tell — if I had to go by this I’d say it looks like the top edge in your picture is the beveled one.

Isn’t the pin 1 always on the bottom left corner when you have the text correctly aligned ? I don’t think I ever saw a case where it wasn’t like that…

Never trusted the text. In my experience its never been any guarantee

I was going to say the same, but decided my experience isn’t necessarily conclusive. I don’t know – the beveled edge is the official designator, and the bottom edge above doesn’t look beveled to me. But hard to tell.
Here’s a photo of another ST 074:
There the beveled edge clearly is in agreement with the text. But I wouldn’t count on it always being so.
Added: This says it’s basically always so:

Yep, I agree with you, but looking at @Jos’s photo, it’s hard to tell that there is a beveled edge on either side (actually both look beveled for me).
We need answer @Jos ! ;p

It is visible once you know what to look for, this beveled edge. I noticed that there is a difference in angle of the casing, I found this is also called a chamfer by some people. Thx.
The picture is taken from a microscope which is looking right down on the chip, and still it is difficult to discern. But there indeed is a beveled edge / chamfer.
