Hello,

If you can't find any of those sockets you might be able to rig something up.  I've seen some special spring contact test points for sale at Mouser and some have a very thin point which should be able to contact the OSC pins of the SX20.  Maybe make a small adapter to hold a pair of those to touch the OSC pins for programming and just tap off ground and the +V from anywhere else on the module that they are easier to pickup.  The contacts I saw at Mouser were made by IDI.

You could also check with ARIES as they make some odd adapters and sockets.  Perhaps they have something.

I'd like to find a ZIF socket myself that would fit the SX28 chips.  That way they could be programed before soldering.  If I can't find one I may just order some of the test contacts mentioned above and make one to just hit the pins I need for programming.

Hope this helps.

Robert
