Is anyone know if there is a compatible ZIF Socket primarily to test the 030 CPU's out with ? Trying to get the CPU's in and out of the socket on the TF536 is a nightmare :(

That was the only one I could find. I guess it would do it, but expensive :( Been thinking of just using a second socket and just throw it away after 10 insertions. But problem as well, pins only have to be a tiny bit out and the things dont fit :roll:
