. . . EuroDin NuBus/PDS hacking of 1990's era PCBs? :?:
I need to solder the cone shaped female end of machine pin strips onto the thru-hole protrusions of the Mac IIsi's PDS Connector. I was planning to use solder paste to fill the sockets and then reflow each connector to the cone shaped, wave soldered EuroDIN, connector pins.
Would I be better off tinning the machine pin sockets with a more compatible solder type and using flux to flow the solder as done when "sweating'" copper pipe connections in this application?
I've borrowed a decent soldering station from my ME brother for this task.
A soldering/butcher/novice needs to know! :-/
