Adaptor socket board

Does any one know of an adapter board that the BS2 sits on and can be inserted into a socket something like the old video games. It is for changing BS2's without touching the pins and to be installed adjacent to the main circuit that I am developing.

    If I understand your question, these are called
    "Zero Insertion Force" sockets (ZIF).
    Aries Electronics sells them with a little lever
    for opening the contacts. There are several
    models available -- some with lever, some with
    other 'locking' methods.
