> Is the [uV2k] FPU socketed?
It's soldered down and not removeable with out the
right tools for
handling high lead count surface mount.
Me I'd pull a old MVII cpu card and do the remove
and replace of the
FPU and CPU. MicroVAXIIs with good cpus and FPU and bad Qbus
interfaces are not uncommon.
The uVII and the uV2k use identical FPU and CPU chips, even down to the
packaging? That's definitely a tidbit worth remembering.
I don't think I have a suitable uV2 donor card just now, though. :(
