-This sounds like a great idea...and you're the one to try it (on
your module)!

No, but seriously, folks...every critical component on his board
are socket mounted. If something blows up, it's surely going to
be an IC first, so you could get a couple of what they call 'Surf
boards", which are these little in-line connectors that have
solderable leads to them and on the other side, IC spaced pins
just for imserting into IC sockets.

Do a search on 'surfboard' and add the word "DIP" and you'll find
them.

with the module in a reasonably 'non-invasive' way. The outputs
from the quad osc are passed through a pair of jumpers to get to
the 1496's. Thus it would be a simple matter to pop the 382 chip
out and with a few other bits to replicate the osc on a breadboard
and then finally feed the sin and cos outputs back in to the
1496's. The jumpers are also the correct side of the AC coupling
capacitors, so without much difficulty one could play around with
some component values around the osc (and the coupling
capacitors) to see how it behaves with the whole caboodle
slowed down. Reckon I'll give this a go over the weekend, just to
see what might be possible...
