I have found that you can easily seperate the pins from the plastic
in the DIP package and then you can solder them as sperate pieces.
In this case however, I am making a board for a friend and he has not
tried to solder a socket on the top. I am not sure that I would want
a newbie to attempt lining up the pins of a DIP for soldering....
If I place and solder the pins for him, I'll take some pictures and
post them to the group.
But, if anybody knows of a link that would show this, please let me
know.
