Joel,

I can chime in here a little to recommend that if you start needing to remove unsocketed chips from your board that you pick up a relatively cheap solder reworking station (such as those listed here).

I used to have difficulties removing unsocketed chips without pulling up traces, particularly on Atari boards. But once I got the rework station and learned how to use it, I never have this problem anymore. Removing these chips is now a snap :) .

But do be sure to watch a video on how to use it properly so you don't damage your board...It's not hard or anything, but watching it used by someone else first will be very helpful...there are plenty of youtube videos to show how to use it. Here is one.

Good luck!

Jon
