I've got the need to connect a logic analyzer to a socketed 84-pin PLCC
IC. The test clips I'm familiar with won't attach properly because they
expect a soldered chip instead.
Besides removing the socket and resoldering the IC directly to the PCB
and using a traditional test clip (which are affordable), are there any
other plug-and-play solutions?
I've found these

http://www.emulation.com/cgi-cfm/insert_quantity.cfm?part_number=BC4-84-PCC…
($308)
and
http://www.logicalsys.com/painfo-vpasp-vb.asp?adapter=pa84-pp ($185 US)
which seem pretty darn cool, but also pretty darn expensive.
The PCB is almost 30 years old, for whatever that's worth.
Thanks,
Keith
