coincidentally, that's exactly what I'd like to figure out how to 
rework..I've got an industrial PC with an IDE controller chip that's 100 pin 
SQFP, and I'd love to know how to get it off the board and put another one on 
(without a SMT rework station...) The idea of a heat gun crossed my mind, but 
I'm not sure it's hot enough.

Anybody got ideas?
