QFP would have been a more accurate term, because there are hundreds of
different surface-mount component packages. It is possible to remove QFP
devices with a surface-mount workstation, and it is even possible to remove
them manually, but even with the right tools, it is a risky job,
particularly on large devices.

And last time I looked at those particular Dynalink internals, they had a
40-pin (maybe 48) socketed DIP OTP EPROM.
