Eric, Yeah, I did this about a year ago when we basically "Socketed" a QFP (25 mil pitch 132 pin QFP), so that we could test various copies of firmware. I believe the company that has a line of this type of adapters was Ironwood Electronics in St. Paul, Minnesota. They can be reached at 651-452-8100. I think they have a website at www.ironwoodelectronics.com.
