I keep thinking that the "via" you are stating is the jumper/solder filled grommet to the other side of the board and not the 6522 "VIA" or other chip Mac uses (VIA = Versatile Interface Adapter chip, the 6522 is also used on the 8bit Commodores and Ataris).
Archer174 is correct on that. My "problem" is that I use SMD/SMT caps, so soldering to the remaining pad, I have to solder a jumper wire from the other end of the cap to the via.
MJ313 - congrats on the IIsi recap. Lets hope you are successful here. BTW - what Mac Board is this?
