Macintosh II Mac Alley accelerator removal
Posted by: karrots on 2020-11-29 12:04:26
I recently acquired a Macintosh II which had a 030 accelerator card in the CPU socket. I'm wondering how to safely remove this so I can inspect underneath.

Any pointers?

Sorry don't know why I said Mac Alley in the subject.

It looks like it's mounted just like the original CPU into the pin socket. Pull it out evenly to not bend the pins on the bottom of the card.
