I can't get them in. They seem to fit on the top but not quite at the bottom... is there a knack to this?

[kiniki]

It seems like the pins need slight bending inwards to fit.

Anyone fitted these things before?

Yes I have countless times, it is the easiest upgrade to do on the Amiga!  Make sure all the pins are straight and just line the chip in the socket, then make 100% sure all the pins are in the holes before pressing down. Or you will bend and break the pins!

Hmmm... mine don't seem to want to line up.. Trying again!

I normally just fold them back one side at a time on a hard surface. Just put one side of the chip on a table and *gently* push the chip to bend the legs slightly, then do the same on the other side.

Ah well applying pressure is something I understand...

Now in!

I bet I have broken them!
