[rescue] Octane memory question

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

Errr... that sucks... I just bought two DIMMS, and the packaging
(although factory) allowed one DIMM to slide into the other dislodging
four surface mount capacitors from one DIMM....

I've contacted the seller, but was hoping that one DIMM would still be
usefull.

I probably could resolder the caps on... but I don't think it's worth
the time for only a 128MB DIMM.... and I'll only do that if I get
compensated for the bad one, get to keep it, and have the time to 
experiment without care as to the success/failure of the repair.

I had to replace 3 caps on a Sun U1/U2 Creator FFB once... those were
a bit bigger and easier to work with though :-)  (stole replacements
off of a defective hard drive pcb :-) ).
