Jim,
I didn't look for a reliable source of VGA chips, but I ordered a few
TVGA9000I-3 chips for my own use from Utsource back in January, they
were $10 at that time. Note that any version of TVGA9000I chip will do
(TVGA9000I-1, TVGA9000I-2, or TVGA9000I-3).
I am not really sure what are the differences between these chips, but
most probably they are some fixes for minor issues. Anyway, I have
another TVGA9000I-1 based card and it works just as well as my
TVGA9000I-3 based card.
I used regular 25W soldering iron with pointy tip, with a thin solder,
and used a desoldering braid to remove any solder bridges and excess
of solder. I'd recommend using magnifying glass for this work, and
also carefully inspect soldering connections.
Thanks,
Sergey
Post by Jim HarreI would like one ISA Backplane and two of the VGA boards.
Have you found a reliable source for the VGA controller chips?
Did you buy a special tip for soldering the flat-pack or file down a
regular tip to fit? Something else?
