That is a strange pinout.  I thought that perhaps the socket could also be for 
an Intel or Zilog peripheral chip.  However, I wasn't able to find one that 
matched the pins you listed above.

The board in Dave Dunfield's photo also has the same empty socket.  It could 
be for a proprietary expansion.  This is also a little strange.  I would think 
that any expansion would use headers like the others on the board rather than 
a socket.

Regards,
Mike
