Just to share my own experience with adding sockets to unibus boards, we found that
there was a clearance problem with adjacent boards even though lo-profile sockets
were used. If this is your own system and no one else will touch it you'll be ok.
There are 16 'pads' here, only two of which use DEC equipment; with over 30 techs,
and board swapping is the norm. We had too many instances where the socketed chip
was actually pulled out of socket while inserting the board. I ended up removing all
the sockets.
