I just thought that a socket-based chip replacement would be trivial
to build - a few seconds each, really (heat the pin, pop it out, stack
two sockets... repeat). If there's a one-wire jumper from somewhere,
that's still not too onerous to install. Simpler than the work to
wire up a perfboard, plus I have *lots* of 4164s and only a few 4464s
in my junkbox.

I also have a
PET 4016 with the punched-out holes in the upper 16K
region of the board - I don't mind stringing wires to rebuild the
sockets, but that seems like a great candidate for hacking the power
to the RAM field. ?Also, it would be easier to drive a naked dynamic
PET board from a bench supply if it didn't need -5V.

I'm planning in doing just this mod.
