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.
