68 PLLC to PGA socket adapters \ VOGONS

However, be aware that these PLCC type FPUs for 386DX systems are pretty bloody uncommon, so I would recommend you solder in a regular 68 pin PGA socket to your board, and then just plug the plcc 88 socket into that socket. If you solder the PLCC68 to the board, you'll be limited to pretty much just that IIT FPU.

@Anonymous Coward, Thank you! Yes, my Opti boards already have the PGA sockets on there, but I didn't know if the sizing was the same or if the adapter needed to be the wider one with the PCB on it. So the straight down pins and relative size should be just about the same between the 68 PGA / PLLC?

Thanks for the clarification!

Never tried with an fpu, but I have used these on my 286 systems.
