I don't know how well it works on through hole components, but maybe try some low temp solder? Brand name is Chip Quik, but there is no-name stuff as well.viking272 wrote: 02 Feb 2024 14:24 So I had a go with the heat gun, 450c setting, moving it over the underside on the soldered pins.
My test solder went soft and stuck to the pcb.
I pulled at the chip gently from the main side, nothing.
Went back for another minute. Everything on the board seemed super hot but no movement from the 68060.
Should I keep going or is there another method?
If you look on p.11 of this chat I bought an almost identical one
I've said this before. I dont think FPGAs are the way forward nowadays. Something like PiStorm or Buffee is the more efficient route to a 060 replacement.cloverskull wrote: 08 Mar 2024 21:17 Hey @terriblefire I was just reading through this thread and wanted to ask if you were still looking at doing a 68060 in FPGA? How's that going? With the current prices of legit 68060s and the dodgy scam markets for these things, an FPGA would be perfect.
