Let us all know what they are like if you get some before me.

Hi, Has anyone found a method to convert an SSOP-type SMD chip into something a bit more manageable? I've just managed to destroy a Burr-Brown PCM2902 USB audio CODEC by trying to solder it down to a piece of Veroboard with a wiring pen. I did try making up an adapter PCB with a retractable knife and a ruler, but only succeeded in getting the tracks to lift off the board :-( As for etching a PCB - has anyone managed to design an SSOP-to-DIP converter in the form of a PCB? I've just had a quick go with EAGLE and I keep running out of space to route the tracks. Thanks. -- Phil. | Acorn Risc PC600 Mk3, SA202, 64MB, 6GB, philpem@dsl.pipex.com | ViewFinder, 10BaseT Ethernet, 2-slice, http://www.philpem.dsl.pipex.com/ | 48xCD, ARCINv6c IDE, SCSI ... Hmmmmmm...
