Re: Favourite CPU socket?
That's your least favorite? I think the DIP-40 was the best processor socket in history! Bent pin? No problem, just bend it back with your fingers. Broken pin? A bit of stiff wire and solder and you're good to go. None of this fragile surface mount crap, thru holes everywhere! No PCB? No problem! Just wrap wire around the pins. Best of all most of those chips are still good today! Maybe a few caps need to be replaced, but somebody with a soldering iron and basic soldering skills can fix it.
