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.
