Re: I've done it again...DS1287 reworked!

Hi William !

This time I re-energized the 1287 in a Model 30-286 that a friend gave me a
long time ago. It didn't go as well as the first module...I had some trouble
getting the solder joints to hold together.

May happen. It is not *that* easy to solder anyway. A good 6 on a 1 - 10 scale, taking in account that the leads aren't exactly clean and a bit hard to reach.

While I was at it, I added a page to the Model 25 information collection
with some of my own observations on the process.

You can see the Model 30-286 rework at in the picture at the bottom of the
page if you want to.

Well done. Not too big, good pictures.
And expresses that particular sense of humour all people need dealing with "this old crap" :-)

I'd never did the DS1387. Have no machine with one (I think) but have the datasheets IIRC. Will have a look if the method applies to it as well. For now I go to bed ...
