Another thing that can help is a soldering iron that doesn’t take 15 minutes to heat up. If it takes 15 minutes to heat up, there is no way it can transfer enough heat for more than a few pins, as the iron will cool down too much to get a decent joint.



This is cool. I will never use this since I’m lucky enough to have dedicated hardware for 9x. But the thought of having a massively overpowered machine for DOS gaming amuses me.
