I'm not even sure what sizes I have offhand. I think I got a 14-pin one
first, a cheap one I bought someplace in NYC, I think, and I figured I
could move that a pin if I needed to check a 16-pin part. I'm not sure if I
carried that same thinking over on the bigger ones offhand, but I probably
oughta look and see just what the heck I've got.
I haven't used 'em anywhere near as much as I thought I might, either, but
then I haven't even fired my scope up in ages now, another thing I oughta
fix pretty soon, too. :-)

I have some of these (that I'm not looking to
get rid of :-) and thought
I'd remembered buying them from either Jameco or JDR but can't seem to
find 'em in their web sites, for some reason... :-(
I guess the prevalence of surface-mount has made them a less popular item
these days?
Yeah -- that is what I was thinking too. It's not that they are
completely unavailable, mind you, but the ones I've found are gold
plated ones for $50 a piece. Too rich for my blood --- and overkill
given the application.
Thanks
