I thought I remember reading something about taking custom ICs (you know, the ones that fall apart if you look at them wrong...) and putting them in a machined socket, and soldering the legs to the socket...
Am I on crack or is that a real thing? I just pulled a 52XX from a Pole Position board and lost a couple of legs... made it run through my mind.
Is socketing them like that a good idea (seems like it) or are there some hidden risks or something that I'm not seeing (barring using too hot of an iron).
