Could TF4060 be designed with footprint for a ZIF socket?

Post by codepoet »

I've come into seven ZIF sockets for 68040 (and I assume they'd work for 68060?). Before I start desoldering these from the VME boards they came on, I'm wondering if they'd even be useful.

I don't think the BFG9060, for example, has enough room in the layout around the socket to take a ZIF socket.

Wondering if the TF4060 could be designed for such a socket (as optional vs. a normal socket), by leaving enough space around the layout?

Then I could eventually get a TF4060 and have an easy solution for swapping in and bench-testing various 68060 CPUs without having to pry them out all the time with a PGA shovel thingie :p

Cheers!
Brian.

Nope. I dont do special requests. I'm so sick of the 4060 it may never happen.

sounds good, (hopefully) no harm in asking.
sorry to hear the TF4060 is being a diva, best wishes.
