We are presently carrying three part numbers for PLCC sockets. they are 
P/N 179252-XXX, 179250-XXX and 179237-XXX. Only, part number 179237-XXX shows
any WHERE-USED, while, part numbers 179237-XXX and 179252-XXX shows any stock.

I would like to inactivate for new designs part numbers 179250-XXX and 179252
-XXX. This would require that the stock for part number 179252-084 be sold off
or exchanged for credit. this stock is from 3M/TEXTOOL and needs a special tool
to remove the PLCC from the socket (Note: the sources for part number 179237 all
use the same tool and 3M/TEXTOOL is changing over to the same style socket). We
presently have 1250 pieces in stock of the 84 pin socket. If we want to use them
we can, but remember they need a special tool.

On part number 179252; I believe that this was established for SHOWVIEW and only
called out the AMP sockets. After Geoff Barker and I ran shock tests for Morgan,
it was determined that other manufactures could be used in his application. I
would add AMP to part number 179237-XXX.

If everyone is in agreement, I would like to do this, this week. Any questions,
please feel free to contact me.
