Now that looks promising! The show-stopper problem with adapters like Jason found is size. There's only about 20 mm between the circuit board and the top of the case. I can imagine soldering this plug to a board that had either the DIP chip or a ribbon cable to connect it to an FPGA board. I'd have to solder a socket onto the original board to use this, but that might be possible. There's one surface-mount capacitor that's close enough to the 1173 that it could prevent the installation of a socket.

Thanks for the info, Bob!

You can probably find the PLCC pin part and a DIP socket on like Mouser, 
Digikey, or Allied... Then just spend a little time
soldering wires to make an adapter... Or even order/make a custom prototype 
board from those sites that will do one-off's?
