DIP / PLCC

[Niki Waibel]

hmmm - on http://www.epboard.com/ you can find a PLCC to DIP adapter.

i'd like to know if it is possible to use E32-0041 (PLCC-32 to DIP-32
IC Adapter) on a epia-m board with a MD2802-D08 doc (m-systems).
it seems that these chips have capacities of 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 40, 72 MByte!!!
