Wanted: a PIC prototype board with a socket to fit the PLCC44 type pic chips. something like the one shown here but with a PLCC44 socket http://www.melabs.com/downloads/pp64_06.pdf I have searched many websites for this and googled it but have not been able to find anything. The best I can do is use the PIC DIP 40 pin proto boards and use an adapter that has a PLCC44 socket and fits a DIP 40 socket. But by the time I buy the adapter and pay postage I can buy a new PIC Chip in the dip 40 pin package. I have 40 16F877-04I/L 's That I paid less then $1 each for. I would like to use them for a few things and experiments. I have checked with olimex.com and melab.com but they do not male them.
