duh! good thought, don't know why I didn't think of that.  We always used
to double socket our Eproms and Processors in school, because we scrounged
free sockets, but had to pay for chips.  Actually, to take it one step
further, if you can find a ZIF socket that will plug into the motherboard
socket you can eliminate the extreme force needed to seat the used chip.
