	Emulation Technology has a number of adapter sockets to allow
PGA, SOIC, LCC, PLCC, etc. type parts to be used with various wire-wrap 
panel layouts. The adapters are kind of expensive, though. Their part number
AG-28-28-03S-3 which adapts a 28 pin .311" SOIC to a .300" DIP costs 
$79.50. Most of the cost is in the socket which is a test and burn-in
type that is designed to withstand a large number of part insertions
and removals. If you don't mind soldering the IC, they have part number
AB-28-SOL-A-M which has a PC board with pads for a 28 pin SOIC and traces
out to pins to change it to a .600" DIP. It costs only $14.00. 
Unfortunately they have a minimum order requirement of $100.00, but will
still accept the order with an extra $10.00 handling charge tacked on.

Their address is:

	Emulation Technology, Inc.
	2344 Walsh Ave., Bldg. F
	Santa Clara, CA 95051

	(408) 982-0660
