Re: First chip ready

My $.02,

Don't try to save the chip. Cut it out leg by leg, then desolder the
remnant of each leg.

Will save you a ton of frustration and possibly a ruined memcal. Much
faster too. ;) Chips are cheap.

Melted plastic stinks,

Is there a good Cheap Iron from Radio Shack or something to get that will fit down in the confined space? I am going to solder a socket in so I don't need to keep doing this once I get the old prom out.
