>> Need to go pick up some more el-cheapo SOIC's.

microcontrollers on eBay tend to be cheaper in SOIC, I think.  Less
demand, I guess.

Hey, guess what?  A standard sdram DIMM socket has springy contacts on
.05inch centers, and I think there is some potential that you might be
able to realtively easily convert such a DIMM socket into a ZIF-like
programming socket for SOIC parts.  More if I actually get a round tuit.
