[LinuxBIOS] An idea, of sorts

2007-04-10 Thread Randall Philipson
I've implemented an idea in an attempt to make hot plugging safer. I imagine it is something that people have already done, but have been too embarrassed to post. ( I, fortunately, have no shame ). It involves taking the little push tacks ubiquitous in the office environment and clipping off

I haven't spilled any on any pins yet. You don't need very much glue to make it work. I don't know how conductive super glue is, I don't think it is very, but it might be an interesting experiment. I'll pull out the datasheet and put some glue between D0 and D1 or some pins that won't be

Hello, I've been lurking on the list for quite some time, and felt a need to reply to this post. I use dental floss underneath my PLCC's. Lay 3 or 4 inches centered in the bottom of the socket, from one corner to it's diagonal neighbor. Plug the chip in as usual. When you want to remove
