Best way to remove socketed buster?
« on: March 01, 2011, 10:24:10 PM »
I've just obtained a Rev. 11 buster chip and was wondering what is the best/easiest way to remove the old one from the socket without causing any damage?

Cheers.

Just to update. I ordered the tool from Amigakit and swapped them over. The tool made it so easy the job was done in 30 seconds.

With these vintage electronics its best to be cautions.


That way my way of thinking. £8 is better than stressing over having to get the socket replaced or worse!
