greetings all...!!

...saw the message below about soic to dip adapters.
...I'm in the process of developing and building such adapters
at very reasonable cost.  The soic test socket (3M) cost about
$57 to about $75 in single quantity depending on which one you
want, and the pcb is about $5 for a total cost of about $62 to
$80 each.  By the way, the pcb is designed to handle either the
18 pin soic socket as well as the 28 pin soic socket.

Hope this helps those who have been thinking along these lines.

regards,
Frank
