Yikees! Electroless Ni/ immersion gold is not compatible with soldered
BGA's? We need more than luck!

The only Proceedings listing I see on the IPC web page and in their
Publications 98 is was released in June 97. Do you have a document
number or other source for these 'allegations'?

Cheers,
        Greg

        If you would like a paper look into the proceedings
        that occurred last Sept at IPC Surface Finish Summit in St.
Paul,MN.
        There was a paper presented there that discusses the issues
        behind electroless Ni/ immersion gold and why it is not
compatible
        with soldered BGA's.

        Good luck,
