In general, all my IBM PS/2s and derivatives use Surface Mount Technology, which makes it nigh on impossible to find someone who'll undertake the work to replace defective chips, or capacitors. Sockets are sometimes present (or not) for BIOS and/or firmware chips.
The primary need is for Floppy Drive re-capacitoring and Floppy Disk Controller (Intel 82077AA or 82077SL) replacement. I believe there exist surface mount (68-pin?) sockets to suit the PLCC versions of the FDCs, that would be a better solution, IMHO.
