I pulled my AtomPro28 tonight and replaced it with my spare. I blew
the reset supervisor on this one so thought I would experiment with
it. I'll take it to work tomorrow and let one of the techs remove the
part with the proper equipment. I have a thru-hole xtal that I'll try
soldering on and seeing if I can program the part. I'll update the
group as soon as I have some results.
