Hello All!

I am debating on whether or not to install my Zipp chips in my A3000
myself.  If you have done this yourself, please respond.

For a little background: I have been ripping apart IBM clones for a
while and am comfortable with replacing bad RAM chips, disk drives,
hard drives, controller cards, etc.

I have heard that the process with the Amiga is quite involved.  In
what way?  If I take care to (try to :-) remember where everything
plugs in, would I have any trouble?

EXACTLY how do the chips fit in the sockets (is there more than one
way?).  Do the chips that are in the sockets now give clues on how the
replacements should fit?  (I assume that moving the 1Mb of fast to
chip is a simple process).

From what I gather, the hardest part is stripping the PC down, not
putting the chips in.  I am comfortable stripping it down, if the
actual install is easy, then I'll go for it.

Thanks for any input,
-Rich
