It's a *bondout* processor. *Not* a (normal) COTS product. Having the *particular* (special) processor is the issue, here. (No idea how the OP has "blown" it...?)

Make a plug-in board. There's plenty of board-board interconnect solutions; just make a board with a processor, and away you go. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com

I've developed a nice business over the past 15 years lately using the
89lpc92x family of parts. The DIP (20) package is important so that
upgrades may be made in the field. Yearly volume is 3-5K parts. Yes, boards
are assembled by hand using through hole parts. I support 5 part timers and
still use 51 assembler. About 15 active designs.

I just blew the bondout R1.0 in my 2nd PDS900 and now have 1 left.

The reality of my dependance on the on the PDS900 is hitting home.

Does anyone have the hex for the bondout? Or an old PDS900

If I must switch suppliers, any comments of mpu's in DIP and emulator
support for those products. I see stuff from Silicon Labs and Infineon but
no DIP parts.

Many thanks
