I guess this sad saga boils down to my question for the
Time-Nutters List: How do you deal with breadboarding
when it comes to parts that are ONLY available in
surface-mount configuration (and are just at the size
limit for hand soldering?
you lay out little adapter boards and get them made at one of the pcb
houses (like expresspcb, etc.) .. a simple board with just the surface
mount pads short traces to something bigger, or to a through hole into
which you solder a wire. Then there's the art/craft of assembling
surface mount (tiny syringe of solder paste, place part, carefully heat,
etc.)
A bit tedious the first couple times, then you will wonder why you ever
deadbugged in the past.
