0.07" pin spacing sounds a bit like a chip used in an Eastern Bloc
country.  Eastern Bloc packaging for standard DIPS uses almost 1/10
inch (~0.254 mm) spacing.  Well almost, they rounded off to 0.25 mm
even.  Rather vexing if you want to find a socket for a Russian IC!
Looks just like a western part 'til you try to plug it in.  Makes
for interesting April 1 activities.
