I guess many moons ago, the Amiga community was making PLCC to PGA adapters for 68882 FPU chips so you could use the cheaper PLCC chips in PGA sockets.

Has anyone here stumbled across one in their travels… or know of anyone still making them (or effort to produce them today)?

Thank you!

If anyone among us has such an adapter it would be Kai "TheAdapterMan" Robinson! :) I say that because he made some adapters for his SE Reloaded project, so who knows what else he might have hidden over there in the UK.

@Kai Robinson

It should be fairly simple to do in KiCAD as the pinouts for both are available in the libraries - the only thing i wouldn't know is what pins are used in that adapter. Where did you find that image, @Ron's Computer Videos ?
