They can be found, but since DIPs are mostly considered obsolete they are pretty pricey these days. Watch on ePay - I picked up a raft of them from some company closing its service department (cheaper just to throw things away). The grey plugs that fit into the end of the pods have a connector that fits over an individual pin - they work great on wire-wrap pins! - and those can be attached to the DIP clip before you clamp the clip on the IC. There have been a couple of times I've had every single pod in play, each connected to one or even two DIP clips. -- Ian > > > > > Be very careful if you take a pod apart, there is a delicate ceramic > hybrid > > circuit inside. > > > > -tony= > > -- Ian S.
