    How the hell do you remove the '040 from a Rocket Stage II ? 😳

    I bookmarked your article a while ago. But I’ll have to wait until I get a microscope and the appropriate soldering tip. :)
    The 33MHz '040 is rock stable at 50MHz in the Q700 with QuadDoubler by the way. (y)

    Don't worry about a microscope or fine soldering tips for that mod. It's all normal scale stuff, not fiddly. I don't have a microscope and you could do that mod with a 5mm tip iron (not even exaggerating).

    I hate flea markets, unlike my children and their mother. But this morning I was well advised to go with them.
    I found this nice PowerBook 180c for 30€. Even if it's dead, it would still be a bargain.

    As long as we're in the mood of trying to save '040s, do you think this one is salvageable?

    Comes from a battery-bombed Quadra 610.
    I was thinking that by cutting off all the pins and hoping that the rust could be removed, the chip could be modded into some kind of BGA-ish that could be placed on a custom adapter PCB which would fit into a 68040 socket.
    A lot of effort for a less than guaranteed result, eh?
