Jeff,

Where you got the name Killy Clip is quite beyond me... I suspect you are talking about a DIP test clip.

Is this what you are after?

I am looking for a Killy Clip or equivalent to fit over a 32 pin DIP.

Way back when if one wanted to install a CPU upgrade in a Mac 128 or 512 there was a connector/socket called a Killy Clip. The Killy Clip is a plastic housing which fits snugly over the body of the 68000 chip. Embedded in the plastic housing of the Killy Clip are contacts which touch each of the 68000's pins. The contacts of the Killy Clip extend out through the top of the plastic housing so that there are two rows of pins sticking up above the clip.

When one snaps the Killy Clip over the top of the 68000 one then has a two row header of pins on top of the Killy Clip which makes contact with all the pins on the 68000. This makes it easy to connect other things (like upgrades) to the pins of the 68000.

So, were these things ever built for any chip besides the 68000? For example, in standard DIP sizes? It would save me a ton of work if I had one to fit over a 32 pin DIP because then I could build a rig to program 32 pin flash chips in place rather than desoldering them and reinstalling them.

Google only turns up two not useful hits on Killy Clip.

Thank you for any helpful or humorous comments.
