Well, the summer is here, so it looks like I've got the time to do it! Just a trip to the Radio Shack to pick up an iron and the components. :-)
Outstanding! Keep me/us posted... ;-) BTW, a low-wattage, small-tipped iron is recommended, along with some thin (#28) rosin-core solder. It may be worth practicing a bit before soldering on the machined-pin sockets, since a little extra heat can melt the plastic. I find it useful to plug them into another socket both to act as a heat sink and to provide mechanical support for the pins. -michael NadaNet 3.1 for Apple II parallel computing!
