Friendly hint from the "land of towers":

	Plugging adapters/extension sockets into cheap IC sockets tends to
permanantly distort the contacts.  Be very careful to plug in your thingie
once, firmly.  If you have to plug and unplug it several (one?) time, you
may have difficulty getting the orignal 68000 chip to make reliable contact
on all 64 pins.

	Replacing 64-pin sockets is not much fun, even with a lab type power
solder sucker...
