Well, the cabinet arrives today so I was able to complete the build. Doing my checkouts I seem to have encountered a problem.

I load basic, but the Dep Down switch does not work, and the card looks to be in right orientation.

MIcro SD does not appear to be reading. Any ideas?

That message means the SD card is not recognized.  The card is inserted correctly.  Is the six-pin female header soldered under the Arduino?

Tested the card in my PC and it reads well. A Altair690.ini the root and a BAS and VTL folder.

And yes, I rechecked the solders. Orientation seems correct, see earlier photo.
