Or if you don't like the idea of soldering on the motherboard, you could solder to the back of a PLCC socket and push it over the CIA chip.

I like your idea very much, it could be used for AT keyboard adapter, right? Is there danger of socket detaching from chip?  will any PLCC socket work?

 Well, it's not my idea..look at the way internal scan doublers or the gayle adapter of the A1200 PowerFlyer get the signals they need.
As for a keyboard adapter, have a look at Guido Mersmann's MMKeyboard , had one hooked up to my A1200 for the last few years.
 And yes, it could come off, although you could aways use a gluegun to tack it in place.

Seen it done before, maybe they hacked up the socket to remove the notch  :-?


Hmm, I dunno why you had a problem, the socket is symmetrical across the diagonal,
 I just had a look on amiga-hardware.com at the Micronik videoslot enabler and the closeup of the sockets that clip onto the video DAC and Lisa both show the corner intact.
