I would like to try bring it to 128KW by
soldering in the
missing chips. At the moment I have added sockets for all this missing chips
Just to share my own experience with adding sockets to unibus boards, we found
that there was a clearance problem with adjacent boards even though lo-profile
sockets were used. If this is your own system and no one else will touch it
you'll be ok. There are 16 'pads' here, only two of which use DEC equipment;
with over 30 techs, and board swapping is the norm. We had too many instances
where the socketed chip was actually pulled out of socket while inserting the
board. I ended up removing all the sockets.
