I have a 20 meg hard drive whose only flaw is a shot 7406D surface-mount
chip.  It seems that the only way to cheaply salvage this drive is to
desolder the chip and replace it myself.  The PCB is four-layer (two on each
side).  Besides telling me I'm stupid to try this (I already know that), can
anyone give me advice on how to do it?  Pointers to a mail-order distributer
that stocks SMDs would be great, too.

Thanks in advance
