I don't
know about anyone else, but _I_ socketed 100% of the ICs on my
SBC-6120. Given the cost of the blank PCB, I didn't think that a few
$$$ more for sockets was a burden.
With my soldering a socket is a good idea.
I just downloaded the PCB manual ... ARG 1/2 Size crystal Oscillators,
and none of my favorite suppliers have them.Well one does but it has a
$50 min order. I tend to shop at the online surplus places and I don't
even think of modern parts.
