1mb x 1 memory chips for printers

Sounds like what he needs is the IR desolderer I used when I worked last
Xmas for Jabil Circuits in Louisville - it looks like an oversized
microscope and you aim the light source on the part you want to remove and
watch the TV display (magnified view) for when the solder drops out from
becoming soft. Pull the part and set the board to the side. Strange thing is
that it affects the solder, not the chip. I don't think he wants to spend
around $10k for a desoldering tool that would mostly just impress people.
