This potting is from the Thermoset Corp. I have worked on these computers
before for an affiliate of Chrysler. This stuff is a royal pain to get
through, and god luck getting this board out of the metal case. The way we
did it was to heat the case up to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Good luck
to you, hope you can accomplish your goal.
