I may or may not have accidentally flipped the bus cable connector on the Master I/O for a moment, while the power was on. :-(
Can anyone say whether this is likely to do any damage to any specific modules?

I guess the gravity of this situation depends on which modules were connected to the bus cable and how they handled to have power supplied on other pins?

I've done this once to a 1 row system in a Eurorack Adapter Frame which also had the MultiFX among other modules. I was wondering why nothing worked. I then turned the power header around and ... voila ... everything came to life. No modules were fried.
However, I may have just been lucky.

Looking at how the bus is laid out, inverting it would send your +5v along the CTRL and STOP midi lines, and ground would be going to START and CLOCK. I'm no expert but seems to me that's unlikely to cause any damage along the way.

.... on the other hand this guy right here apparently managed to plug in his LOPAG in off-centre (somehow??) which seems to have possibly killed it. whoops... so, don't do that...

My take is it will depend whether anything is patched and if it was connected 'correctly' but the wrong way around.
5v to ground would likely kill something, otherwise its just sending 5v to one of the bus lines, which should be fine assuming there's nothing patched to those?
