Re: 28-pin ZIF Socket

I hate ZIF sockets. They seem easy, and trick, at first. But they oxidize and wear quickly.

Just get regular machine pin sockets for under $12 per, they last forever.

I don't think the heat from the board helps the matter either.

just bought 2 of 28pin machined sockets for $.69 + tax at Fry's Electronics.
If you take care of the chip when taking it out, chip wont get damaged and still comes out fast.
