Hey, if I can do it, anyone can. I started with a

iron wiring point-to-point (lesson to be learned: Look before you
grab). PCB was a learning experience and SMT yet another one. I still
don't know the right way to handle BGA packages doing manual assembly,
so I steer clear of those.
FWIW, I've got a motherboard here (386 or 486--I don't remember) where a
QFP CPU is mounted on a carrier that plugs into a PGA socket. The thing
was purchased in that configuration.
Back in the 80's, what cpu's were for S100 boards other than Z80's
,8080's and 8085's?
