The emulation products are basically built from stackable socket modules. They probably cost so much, because they can charge that much for them, not because they have to in order to pay for their cost. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Paul Reilly [mailto:pareilly@tcd.ie] Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 8:56 AM To: PICLIST@mitvma.mit.edu Subject: Re: [PIC]: PLCC PICS > pins on the 44pin PLCC packages.

Would it not be possible to get a DIL socket and PLCC socket and build a small PCB to link them up as required? That should only cost a 1/10th of those devices.
