Always such a satisfying feeling to desolder a dead DS1287 RTC, solder a socket and install a new module. Another 486 board lives on πŸ˜πŸ‘

The old module is from 1992, the new 30 years later in 2022!

@vswitchzero socketed!

why have i never thought of doing this

edit: can you share the part number for that socket?

@vga256 Sorry it’s a terrible picture but you can see the DigiKey label in this footage screenshot
