|
|
The other day I picked up a 386 mainboard with an embedded 386SX20 Processor and a 387 co processor.
Before I remove the CPU's from the board I wanted to ask you opinions if it was worth doing so? Iwant to because it's such a pain having the whole board sat on my desk like this as it's too big.
But if I do, I'll never use them again. Is it worth it? is it a common old 386? |

Heatgun on the back of the mobo. Do a search for "heatgun" and you will get several threads about removing surface mounted chips. _________________ My collection: http://www.cpucollection.se :::::: http://www.chipdb.org Photos of chips you never knew existed. Now over 6000 different chips in the database. |
