would have to be done to get it out. Also I check my 040 CPU board and it has
an NDIC chip but some of the number are different. Are all NDIC chips made alike?? Hrm -- are you certain? On mine it's pinned through, and if that's the case, you could acquire another one if you find someone with an 030 board who got the NDIC upgrade (socketed).

Yeah, sorry, wrong term. It's not surface mounted and I could desolder the
chip from the board I belive. I'm just curious if one off of say an 030
board would work ok.

AFAIK yes. I don't ever recall hearing anything incompatible NBIC versions
even in the days of hard core stuff like the Ariel QuintDSP.
