The board from Datafree ha to be soldered in (only 17 points on a
template). This was done on purpose - If you spend $$$ on 4 megs
of memory you don't want to have to reseat a loose plug-in connector
every 6 months - believe me it happens. The first version of Datafree's
board was a solderless plug-in board and no matter how a connector was
designed, it would eventually come loose - maybe thats why no major
manufacturer of sockets even makes a header for quad-pack sockets.
