Thank you for saying this - op amps are the perfect example of why relying on standard pinouts is a *terrible* idea!
Let's look at a few eight-pin DIP/SOIC/TSSOP dual op amps, shall we? TL072? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ LM358? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ MC33078? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ NE5532? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ MCP6002? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ AD8552? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ LF353? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ LT1013*N? out in- in+ v- in+ in- out v+ LT1013*S? in+ v- in+ in- out v+ out in- See the problem?
