Tom, The "tool" looks identical to a standard chip puller, though with the edges filed down to fit inside the "slots" in the Agnus chip holder that allows the tool to grab ahold of the chip. If you "dremel"ed a normal chip puller to the point of fitting in that slot , and having the end bent to grab onto the chip it shoudl work fine. Take care though, the chip is usually stuck in there pretty good (at least mine was) and may take a bit of prying to get it out. Don't use brute force!!! This will definatley destroy the motherboard. If you damage the chip holder, the entire motherboard needs to be replaced. (At least, that's according to my local dealer). If ya have any questions, let me know! The mod took under 10 mins to do, and is real simple if you are familiar with the insides of your computer. Joe
