Correct.

I don't think so.  The "specs" are available to folks like ZEOS who
manufacture hardware that will incorporate this technology.  You have
to pay big bucks for this advance info and you have to sign legal
non-disclosure agreements.

The specs on the socket are not Intel proprietary.  ZIF sockets have
been around for a good while.  I am unclear, however, how the high
speed (100MHz) CPUs will perform in these sockets.

I have a ZEOS 486DX2-66 with the ZIF socket and there is TWO extra rows
and TWO extra columns set aside for the P24T chip.  It is my understanding
that this will NOT accept the Pentium, but rather it's half-brained cousin,
the P24T.  Currently the 486DX2 chip sits in the dead center of the
ZIF socket, with all the extra pin holes around the perimeter of the
chip.
