Getting the board into the socket... somehow.

I knew that finding someway to get a 179-pin board to board adapter was going to be difficult, but it seems to be impossible. I expect that if this works, there will be a total of 10 of these ever produced as a maximum, so I cannot really pay for tooling. I did find a bunch of little pins:
mill-max: 3117-2-00-21-00-00-08-0
I am not thrilled with the prospect of soldering 179 of them, aligned correctly, to the bottom of each board; however, that is what probably will happen.

  2. basically, i need something that has pins on both sides. So, not a socket per se.
