  Looks like this is not the drop in solution that the article used. Apparently the mentioned white small drop-in socket is from TaoBao but I couldnt find it there, neither on ebay...

I found someone selling them on AliExpress, though at a high price point: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000990317952.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000990317952.html If you don't mind a different style (clam shell), you can get them for significantly less: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33025755888.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33025755888.html I suspect both AliExpress listings are an order of magnitude more expensive than they can be purchased on Taobao, but then you have to A) find it on Taobao, and B) use a shipping agent in China to export it. Found a US-based seller who has them for $3/each (min quantity 10): http://siliconkit.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=81 http://siliconkit.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/product&... Ah, the model number is listed on the flashrom wiki: https://www.flashrom.org/Technology#SO8.2FSOIC8:_Small-Outline_Integrated_Circuit.2C_8_pins https://www.flashrom.org/Technology#SO8.2FSOIC8:_Small-Outli... Edit: Here's the Taobao link: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=576521466919 https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=576521466919

  Thank you, I've been drooling over them on Dediprog for a while: https://www.dediprog.com/category/smt-sockets https://www.dediprog.com/category/smt-sockets but their MOQ is slightly offputting; I'd like just a few of each style to have on-hand.

It's a "Wieson IC socket" - I originally got them here on Taobao for $1.50: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=529625834683 https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=529625834683 and looks like others have pointed out various resellers.
