From the project
This project is for a couple of chip adapters to convert the PLCC-28 and PLCC-44 Apple SWIM chips to DIP-28.
This project is for a couple of chip adapters to convert the PLCC-28 and PLCC-44 Apple SWIM chips to DIP-28.
The intention of the project was to allow me to use the PLCC-44 SWIM chip from my battery bombed Macintosh Classic in a Macintosh SE to give it 1.44MB floppy drive support.
The PLCC-28 and DIP-28 SWIM chips have the exact same pin layout (i.e., pin 1 goes to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc). This means that PLCC-28 to DIP-28 adapter can be used with universal programmers as well.
