There is a large mall in Taipei somewhere (my Taiwanese friend knows where), and I went there to have a look around and I just happend to see these adapters, and I was blown away by their prices - if I remember correctly, the PLCC->DIL adapter was about US$5 and the DIL->ZIF PLCC was about $12 - I also picked up about 6 regular DIL32 ZIF sockets for $3 each. I had previously bought these sort of things from emulation and the like, and as you say, their prices are crazy. I have sent an e-mail to my friend in Taipei, and will see what he comes back with.

and that has a special ZIF PLCC socket. I can try to see if a friend of mine in Taipei can find more of these - I recall paying just a few dollars for both adapters, and they have proved invaluable.
Just a couple of dollars? Wow! Thats awesome. emulation.com normally has stuff like that for a hundred plus dollars. If you find some I'll buy a few.
