Group,
I remember reading a article many years ago, I think it was in BYTE, about salvaging IC's from discarded Printed Circuit Boards by using a chip puller and a torch on the back. Has anyone actually done this? I guess now you could try with a hot air gun?
I've grabbed a few odds and ends from various boards. I'd bet a large number of Ebay pulls come from this method. I don't do it very often because all my old stuff is easy to find parts for. But if I needed a specail ship for my Atari's I wouldn't hesitate ti find another game system to grab parts from. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
