    Seems like a lot of money for this thing.

    Are there any other options?

    Have the MELABS programmer......maybe I can do the board myself and buy the socket?
    You could make your own. Digikey sells the soic adaptor (sans board) for about $30. Etch yourself a board and add a header, and you've saved $20.

    Joe and Norm, neither of those is what Micheal is looking for. See the MELabs web page:

    They are basically zif for soic chips... not DIP, and not a solder-on board. You use these to program your SOIC chip prior to putting it on a pcb.
