That came up as a PLCC case, which is not correct.

EPROM Emulating speeds up the tuning so much, I don't know why anyone would go any other route in this day.

I agree, I now use machined pin DIP sockets.

Unless you're soldering it directly to the daughter board, you don't need to insulate it.

I prefer to solder a 24 pin DIP socket to the daughter board, then stack a modified DIP socket on top.

I like using a 24 pin DIP socket right on the daughter board, then plugging the adapter into it. I use 28 pin DIP sockets for the adapter, with an SST27SF512, the cover just touches the EEPROM....
