Mmmmm, that would be nice.  Or a GGG three-pack under the Xmas tree.  A SW Yoke with lighted balltop 49-ways on each side of it.

I had to retool the programmer, completely re-design the boards and learn to solder these tiny devices.  Fortunately, only one heroic KeyWIz had to give it's life for me to figure out the trick in doing it.  As it turns out, once I got the hang of it, they are actually no more difficult to use than the bigger chips.  The gods have smiled on me for a change :)

Learning how to solder surface-mount ICs is intimidating isn't it?  I avoided it for years.  The way I do it now (probably goofy) is to coat the pads with a little solder on just one side, then push the IC down with tweezers and reflow from one corner to another.  Then do the other side of the chip and finish by dragging the iron tip from the pad up the IC pin for a majorly solid connection.
