I've never heard of those kinds of adapters... Intel has a pretty tight lock on Slot 1 technology (i.e. against the law to reverse engineer) so I can't imagine that anybody would be able to engineer a socket8 to slot1 adapter. Of course, I could be wrong :-) I'm not 100% positive on this, but my guesstimate is no dice. Slot 1 is completely different than Socket 8 and requires a whole different kind of wiring; different control lines and data lines to the 440LX (AGP Set). You'd have to design a whole new chipset to handle the different processors.
