Re: se/30 IWM SWIM floppy repair motherboard

["Henry" <apl2research(.a.t.)comcast.net>]

Hello [w].

When I first pruchased my hot air rework station I started expirmenting on 
some old Mac SE/30 motherboards.  They're pretty easy to work on actually.

I'm not too sure what other IC's or componets could have been damaged other 
then the SWIM.  Removing and soldering a new IC on should be pretty easy. 
Just go easy on the solder paste.  A little goes a long way.  Looking at my 
motherboard there looks like there is enough room to add a SMT PLCC socket 
for the SWIM.  I would spend the extra couple dollars and do that.

Other then that have fun!
