Mark, that's what I thought when I started working with the Mega8,
in fact I had the artwork all ready to print as I had other PCB's
going for prototyping. Just as well I got 2 chips the day before,
then I read the specs for the Mega8 again and I realised that
they use a skinny (0.3") 28 pin package so 2*14 pin sockets would work.
