I've heard of folks disassebling the memcals, but I have yet to do anything other then wreck them with any attempt I've made at that. Also, remember some of these guys do this stuff for a living and have the hands of a surgeon, and the proper equipment for doing said operations. I've seen a doctored PCB, that I had to ask where the work was done, it was that good. If you do that sort of thing fine, this is just a broad spectrum letter, so that not everyone thinks it's a no brainer to do. Like the electrictian said to the surgeon, how dare you charge so much for what you do, I do things just as finely, and acurately as you. The surgeons response, ya but I do my work on stuff that is alive.
Best way I've done it is to snip the pins of the EPROM at the chip, then unsolder them 1 at a time with the solder sucker to remove the individual pins. Then adding the socket to the carrier (Zif or standard).
