P2 dip?

I am getting nervous. The only info I have seen points to the P2 only coming in a SMT package? PLEASE tell me I am wrong and that there will be a DIP package for those of us still learning electronics on a bread board.

    Due to the need for different power supplies, capacitor bypassing requirements, and the overall number of pins, it can't be a DIP.
    There will be DIP style adapter boards and prototyping boards, don't worry.

    Would it be possible to get an official Parallaxian response to this question?

    We do know Parallax intend to produce a tiny pcb with a P2 and SDRAM with gold fingers edge connector for a PCIE 64 connector.
    It's unlikely any DIP pcb will be what you expect because the width between the pins will be quite a bit wider than 0.6".
    However, the community will no doubt (including myself) will no doubt build pcbs with 0.1" pitch edge connections for users who just want to deal with the I/Os being t/hole.
