I'm starting to think they should require a license and maybe waiting
period before you can buy a soldering iron. A little while back I
received
a dead ZipGS along with a bunch of cards. Someone had obviously tried
to upgrade it. Most of the socket holes were burned large and a lot of
traced
were pulled off the card. Horrible mess.. After comparing it to a good
card
so I knew where all the traces went and wiring some traces back to the
sockets, I tried it out and it worked. Was so happy I almost hugged the
girlfriend. After a bit of thought I completed the narrow socket
conversion, not that it
does me a lot of good with that 7mhz processor. Anyone happen to have
an old 8mhz 65816 they're not using?
