Like this: ftp://ftp.drzyzgula.org/pub/electronics/adap28-2.jpg ? Great idea. The board is just about the same surface area, so there shouldn't be any cost difference. The only problem I see is that the pin heads under the SOIC will have to be no thicker than the elevation of the SOIC underbelly from the PCB, which would seriously limit the choice of pins. Maybe you meant to put the SOIC all the way outside the DIP outline? --Bob (I suddenly realized I could use the CAM processor to generate a TIFF file rather than printing to PostScript, and I then converted to jpg with xv on my Linux machine. It's got some aliasing problems, but at least it will pop up inline on a browser). --Bob On Tue, Aug 24, 1999 at 08:19:58AM +1000, Paul B.
