I worked on Solaris when the PPC work was done. Solaris 2.5.1 was the release that included PPC support. Here is a link to the Solaris 2.5.1 release notes, which describe some Solaris on PPC details - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19695-01/802-5366/802-5366.pdf alan On 8/30/17 6:35 PM,

snap-cap removal goes like this: heat up the joints and solder-suck them clean as possible. Then hold on to the cap body, and attempt to rock it back & forth has you re-heat one pin and then the other(s). Once all the pins are broke free, you can extract it. On Tue, Aug 29, 2017 at 5:41 PM, Rob
