I really had FUN today! It's been a long time since I tried installing dipps. I'm so used to zero-insertion force sockets that I forget just how much trouble press-fitting pins can be. It took almost an hour including carefully removing the, just installed, 8087 chip with a bent-in pin. Before that I "trashed" a Dallas 1216E smartclock by bending and breaking pins. One down and one to go; Norton saw my FPU and a math-intensive program ran with vigor.
