Alternatively, although quite expensive, you can get Zero Insertion Force
sockets for tqfp chips.  I have seen one already for the HC16 chip, BUT,
zero insertion force they are not ... required a vice to close the top of
the socket over the chip ... but at least it brought the pins out in a PLCC
fashion which is much easier to prototype with.

Hi Grahan,

I had to develop an adapter board like tqfp to DIP. if you wand I can
send you the PCB file.

thanks
