I have a dual density 88780B. Is it possible to upgrade to quad density by
acquiring/swapping boards?
Or does someone have an 800bpi 9-track on SCSI Incan borrow or buy?
I have a pair of 1984 pdp11/70 UNIX SysV (R0, R1?) tapes that need to be
archived.
Regards,
Kevin

The newer Pace desoldering tools (SX-90, SX-100)
are much better, both in cleaning (disposable traps)
and usage (the tips simply don't block at all).

I looked at the firmware disassemblies. Opcode 10
I have a 605. I tend to use solder wick though, it has been a while since
I needed a powered sucker.

Another Hakko 472D owner here. Got mine in pieces as used/nonworking.
They're easy to rebuild. I've used the 808s at workshops/friends' places,
there's no comparison IMO. I use the "pencil" style handpiece, we had the
"gun" style at a previous job, I definitely like the "pencil" style better.
