MacSnap SCSI on 512k
Posted by: crazyben on 2024-07-05 12:29:58
I recently acquired 512k that has MacSnap scsi card. The 512k got banged up during shipping and pins in the card is bent. How fragile are these pins? Can I bent them back or can i replace them?

They can be bent back. But they won't take too much bending. Try using a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, take the lead out of it. Take it very slowly -- there's not many of those doohickeys floating around.

I will do that. Thank you. I wonder if you can desolder the broken pins and solder new one.

They are indeed fragile, you can replace them, but will have to remove/replace the ROM sockets first
