Its TI's TSP53C30. Called a "slim dip" package, I think. Unfortunately, they don't offer it in a regular DIP package. Does that match your def. of "goofy"?! For the record, there are a several companies that make sockets for these things: Texas Instruments - CSD Marketing ph: 508-699-3800. solder tail Mill-Max Mfg. Corp. - ph: 516-922-6000. solder tail, wire-wrap Cyten Circuit Design - ph: 214-341-1069. 70-100 mil adapter PCB. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who: Greg Bell Address: gbell@ucsd.edu What: EE hobbyist and major Where: UC San Diego -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
