[Techtoolslist] Realllly need a Z80/AA

[davids at oz.net]

I use turn pin 40 position sockets as sacrifice sockets on my fluke pods.  Could probably do the same for these.  The turn pins don't tend to spring the board sockets.

I think this option would work, you could use idc headers and solder to the
avg style socket, looks like that pcb design will work with different types
of CPU(s) ?
