I had "ES" packages, i.e. preproduction. INT1 is like the Kingston Trio song 
about Charlie on the MTA. He got on and never returned. All other INTs work.
If they phase out P-DIPs will they supply adapters to the SDK500? Maybe my 
friendly rep can find out. Or maybe apps engineer in Dallas

   I have a sneaky suspicion that Atmel is attemptig to phase out their
P-DIP packaging altogether.  This is a pity, as prototyping with SMD
packages is difficult at best, and very expensive if you have to
purchase sockets or adapters.
