Re: First chip ready

["Programmer" <nwester@eidnet.org>]

I'm probably the only one that does this, but here goes...I "desolder" by
heating
a leg and using compressed air to blow the solder away. Just a quick puff
after
heating blows the leg clean. Then ever so gently, pry the leg away from the
joint with
a micro screwdriver tip --and gently pry the chip loose afterwards--reheat
as needed to remove the chip. Works every time for me.

>Well I got the first chip to try in the TPI327!! I know this sound stupid
but what is the Easiest way to unsolder the chip out of the Memcal? 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.
