Um, excuse me...piggybacking chips fixed my IIe for SIX YEARS.

I am not saying that it is the most elegant solution or that it is the
best solution, but it worked in my case.  I saw the fix in an issue
of Family Computing magazine.

If you don't believe me, I can dig up that old issue of Family
Computing, scan the article, and email it to you!

The only reason I did this was because I did not know how to
desolder at the time.  If you don't know how to desolder the chip,
might as well try this method.
