In the case of the A500, I'll be honest, I have
some games I want to be
able
to play again, and the C-64 versions don't cut it! :-)
Blood money! :oD
(also, don't forget the obrigatory demos: Jesus on e's, Made in Croatia,
Technological Death, Digital Dreams, 9 fingers and State of the Art! :oD
I might be able to handle surface-mount caps, it's
the chips I can't
handle.
This is not so hard. Just a matter of training :)
