ASCEP springs to my mind.... Another Super Cool Exxos Project.

When you have hundreds of chips to test, testing the same 15 chips over and over is a bit of a waste of time.. it would take me 15 longer to test them all.
Yup, tedious work indeed. I thought the changing of the chip that took the longest time, but it doesn't really matter when you do it. It's the same amount of time I guess.
ZIF Allow me to just put the chip in the socket without having to straighten all the pins first which is where the bulk of the time goes. With turn pin sockets every pin has to be spot-on otherwise it does not fit.. And I end up spending lots of time trying to do just that. Spring-loaded sockets tend to break after several insertions then having to spend more time replacing sockets..and even if things go well that particular motherboard will just die no reason at all and I will have to start all over again changing sockets.. I really am "done" screwing around with these old motherboards.
