Emulation Technology has a number of adapter sockets to allow PGA, SOIC, LCC, PLCC, etc. type parts to be used with various wire-wrap panel layouts. The adapters are kind of expensive, though. Their part number AG-28-28-03S-3 which adapts a 28 pin .311" SOIC to a .300" DIP costs $79.50. Most of the cost is in the socket which is a test and burn-in type that is designed to withstand a large number of part insertions and removals. If you don't mind soldering the IC, they have part number AB-28-SOL-A-M which has a PC board with pads for a 28 pin SOIC and traces out to pins to change it to a .600" DIP. It costs only $14.00. Unfortunately they have a minimum order requirement of $100.00, but will still accept the order with an extra $10.00 handling charge tacked on. Their address is: Emulation Technology, Inc. 2344 Walsh Ave., Bldg. F Santa Clara, CA 95051 (408) 982-0660 Ask for their catalog. Kendall Miller Lynx Real-Time Systems, Inc. (408) 370-2233
