  IIRC, this discussion started when I pointed out that
the 
 fact that the 
 QL was on one PCB didn't make it hard to do repairs -- just 
 solder in a 
 new chip. The QL is all pin-through-hole DIP chips, the type 
 that's the 
 easiest to repalce. And yet people still moaned about my comments... 
Well, if it makes you feel better, I agree.  I certainly would
solder a DIP if it became necessary.  I have done similar things
(the power supply connector on my DEC Multia mainboard, which is
about the same spacing), even on new machines, with no problem.

(Yes, the Multia works now)
