[quote="Basic Jim"]In my opinion, one advantage to using the SX28 tech board is, if for any reason you fry the SX28 or damage a pin so it doesn't function properly, it is socketed so you just replace the chip and your on your way. Another nice thing about the SX28 is that being a dip chip you can program it and pop it in a socket of a final project that you have built. Unless your  using a pre-made proto board it would be a lot harder to surface mount that chip in a home made circuit. Although I see a lot of advantages to the sx48 proto board I see more  flexability with the SX28 even though it is not as powerfull. Of course for those using mainly proto boards for projects your proto board is a great idea.

I know I shouldn't say this very loud, the foo bird named Murphy is always on duty, but it has been years since I have fried a chip and that time includes some pretty dumb moves on my part. The chips today seem to be tolerant of a greater range of human stupidity than ten or twenty years ago.
