Well, I believe that one of the salient features of the AppleMouse card
(and most of the newer Apple cards) is that NONE of the chips are socketed.

It's enough to drive me to buy a clone card, (if it were made.)
Example: my clone SSC is fully socketed, but my 1981-vintage Apple SSC
is not.  (On the other hand, the clone was non-working when I picked it
up at a hamfest.  But I know that if I wanted to fix it, I could simply by
replacing the bad chip(s)).
