All of my arduino's have SMD chips.

Since the arduino provide the ISP pins for in place programming (a 2x3 pin header), I see no need to physically replace the chips. All that differs is software and it can be changed any time. You need a ISP capable programming device (e.g. another arduino with an ISP-MK2 sketch or a real programmer like the AVR ISP MK2 from Atmel). There's no rocket science involved. > I appreciate your interest and would be pleased to hear your take on > removing the existing 328P and replacing it with a pre-programmed > Forth chip.

All you need (again) is a programming device. And after that, your arduino works as nothing has happened at all.
