I'd actuall still recommend going with something like a .1" header (dual
row). With those I can mount a board vertically with everything we need. A
DIP type socket is best suited to a parallel board (like all my other
daughtercards) but then we have to worry about clearances and whatnot for
everything around it... A little harder to just get a "shunt" type
connection across it for people that don't want the supervisor too.
