I cringed when he removed the CPU with a screwdriver from the board after spraying it with WD-40.
First stating how rare these white 6502s are, then use brute-force methods to remove the chips off the board.
He could have at least used a proper chip-puller. Seeing those bent pins on 40+-year-old ROMs breaks my heart :(.
- philpem 7y agoThere's nothing wrong with using a screwdriver to remove a chip like this, provided it's done carefully. With that said, I'd probably have used a guitar pick. Some of the chip pullers are excessively violent and apply force to both ends of the chip. If the centre pins of the chip are stuck, the chip may end up being snapped in two.
