I've already decided, as in the above post, that it is beyond my skill 
level as well as the tools involved being too pricey.  I had thought if 
a person here had those tools, skills, and did this kind of work on a 
regular basis I could either afford to have him do the work or just 
donate the boards to him.  These 2 boards have Soundstorm which some 
people consider desireable.
