Bus Pirate 5 SOIC / SOP8 SPI Flash Adapter

This accessory for the Bus Pirate 5 makes it trivial to program bare flash memory chips without clips or soldering. SOP8 150mil and 208mil are the most common and inexpensive flash packages at the moment. After looking at a number of sockets, the folks behind the Bus Pirate 5 decided these bad boys, favorites of the mobile phone repair market, were the way to go. Easy to insert and remove a chip, but a bit bulky with delicate pins. The cost is in the pins, 16 pins cost double that of an 8 pins socket.
