I'm happy to offer a new product at BoostButton.com. I now have SBEC latch adapters for sale. These allow you to use a more 'standard' chip (EPROM, EEPROM, Flash, Etc.) in place of the near-obsolete and relatively expensive 87C257 UV-EPROM.
It also allows the use of the Ostrich or Romulator with the SBEC.
These are now available on my website - www.boostbutton.com - for $30 shipped.
These are very compact, and require removing only slightly more potting compound than a regular socket job. They are designed to be soldered in place (I used pins with a small diameter to make installation easier). They do also fit sockets, but may be loose depending on the type. If you require an adapter to fit a socket securely, please let me know. Also, these come standard with a machine-pin socket for the chip or Ostrich. If you desire a ZIF-socket, that can be done as well - though an extra fee will apply.
