Is there some secret to getting the PIC Chip in the socket ? I am working up a proto board and can not get the legs to go into the socket. The legs on the F88 are about to come off, which I would like to avoid, since that is why I used the socket in the first place ! Of course it's not a ZIF :) Just looking for advice from somebody with practical experience.
