Perhaps there are enough engineers and interest that we could cleverly design such a device (or something else ingenious) and have a bunch of them made?
The best solution I have found is a hole in the board, so you can poke it out. I put one in all of the boards I design, but I have never seen one on a motherboard. All of the pullers I have used eventually bend pins. Have you tried dental flloss? It works pretty well, but you need a puller to get the first one out.
Ok, ok -- I'll listen to the masses and follow this method. :)
Still, I'd rather make an adapter. I've been told that production motherboard PLCC adapters are usally only rated for about 10 insertions. An adapter must be manufactured I think. Perhaps someone has some experience with plastic mold injection adapter design & fabrication.
