still haven't tried this myself, but it seems doable if you only have one BGA: http://www.ee.ualberta.ca/~jasmith/mpc555/faq.html#SolderOven I vaguely rememver Stephen's land pattern document talking about solder mask, but it bears repeating: the solder mask is a lot more important with BGAs and other surface-mount components than with through-hole components. -- - Charles Lepple
