I got this idea the other day.. but I'm not sure if it would work. I noticed Fry's carries these little PCB boards which are designed for prototyping and they have traces going to the center of the board so you could mount a surface-mount IC there. I know this would probably be insanely difficult, but I'm thinking not impossible. Maybe you could grind off the epoxy, use a heat-gun or other heat source to desolder all the contacts simultaneously and have the chip fall off the board. (I've done this by accident on a totally different board years ago) Then maybe it could be reconnected to one of those prototype boards and then you'd have access to all the traces comming out of the chip.
I'm still drooling over the thought of using the chip as a microcontroller.. or a brand-new C64 with all the ports and hacking capability available.
