Where to get a ZIF DIP42?

I got a willem programmer from ebay (PCB 5) with 16bit EPROM adapter so I could program 27c322 eproms. But the only prob is that the 16bit EPROM adapter has a 42pin socket, but not a ZIF.

Is there a place online somewhere that sells perhaps aDIP42 ZIF that will fit into the 42pin socket on my 16bit adapter? I have looked on ebay and google but no luck.

mcumall sells a willem 42pin 16bit eprom adapter with a ZIF socket as well as a regular socket.

I didn't see 42pin but I am assuming 48pin will work (with 6 pins hanging over the edge) with my 16bit adapter?

I already have a 16bit eprom adaptor, but it has a 42pin socket so I just need a 42pin ZIF to fit into that socket rather than another 16bit eprom adapter.

You can't fit a ZIF socket in IC socket. On the ZIFs I've seen anyways, the pins on the bottom are shaped really differently from an IC. It should fit on a PCB if the holes are large enough.

edit: Oh I see on that site they include standoffs - http://www.darkwire.com.au/html/48_pin_zif_socket.html

Using regular IC sockets, stacked together, is what I've found to be a quick and easy solution.
