Seriously. This may be bad form but it's what I do (and I do it with a 

halfwave rectified 30W bluntish tip soldering iron). It's very relaxing to 

solder 100's of bits of blue wire to tiny leads. The lead spacing on DSP 

type things is a bitch but I have done it. The way the leads are bent though 

does require the part to be potted - so it's really kind of a hardcore 

commitment. It's MUCH easier for 8-pin SMD's which are by far the bulk of 

the parts I do liek this. >>

Could you post or email some photographs of these?
