Subject: Re: IBM Monochrome "Black and White" Parallel card double image
In ~1990, I was given one IBM MDP card that had intermittent problems.
On close examination, I found that IBM (in original maufacturing) had bent
a pin under one of the chips, instead of it being through the hole. The
bent pin was making intermittent contact with the pad around the hole that
the pin was supposed to go through. Replacing that chip fixed it.
Was I too wasteful to replace the whole chip, rather than just one pin?

Hi Fred
I might have just ran a wire through the hole and tacked it onto the
pin.
This really depends on who I was doing this for. If for a customer,
I'd have replaced the chip. If for me, as I stated, I'd most like not
even bothered to remove the part.
