Coming from the left, the processors socket serves as a support for it and then I slide it totally under the chip to loosen the other end... and I always recycle the EPROM, so its possible without bending the pins... To set in the new EPROMs, I also have to be carefull not to bend one of the pins instead of inserting it. It depends on the angle they are bent to, because they come with "open legs" from the factory, so Kim has to bend them parallel. But naturally, you insert one row of the pins correctly first and then watch the other side and press the whole chip in position so all lets fit to their wholes. > >-Hans > > >At 18:23 03/07/2002, you wrote: >>Yeah, Hans is right- I ruined a Jam Man upgrade chip this way- "It takes >a >>steeeady haand!" >> >>C >> >>----- Original Message ----- >>From: "armatronix" <armatronix@charter.net> >>To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> >>Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 6:06 PM >>Subject: Re: EDP rebooting problem >> >> >>> Mine was doing that too.
