One page shows a zero ohm installed between adjacent pins (through hole),
the other shows jumper wire mods.
Depending on the pitch of your SOIC, you could possibly use an 0603 zero
ohm.

Technetters,
How do I do what is proposed in my title?  The options are using excess
solder or using a mod wire.  Are there other options for doing this mod?
What do people do?  What is allowed and not allowed by IPC standards (I
couldn't find anything, but then I may not be looking in the right place.)
I would expect option one would be a whole heck of a lot easier than option
2.  As long as option 1 doesn't produce bulbous joints with the solder all
the way up to the component body is there any real reason why I can't do
this?

regards,
