    Q: Recommended slotkets? Availability?
    A: A slotket must be fcpga compliant and have voltage adjustment jumpers as a minimum requirement to get a recommendation here. There is an official list available from intel of "slot-to-socket adapters" (SSA) which passed or didn't pass their tests. But unfortunately having voltage adjustment jumpers isn't a requirement for intel of course, so some of the slotkets listed there won't have those jumpers.
    Slotkets which are known to work reliable, are fcpga compliant and have voltage adjustment jumpers are:
    Soltek SL-02A++ (taller than a normal Slot1 cpu, so you might have trouble fitting it into a case with a removable motherboard tray, dual ppga, but not dual fcpga capable)
    Iwill Slocket II but only rev. 1.1 (don't know how tall it is, not sure about dual capabilities either), Iwill Slocket III should be fine too but doesn't seem to exist
    Abit Slotket III (don't know how tall it is, supposed to be dual ppga and dual fcpga capable)
    MSI 6905 ver. 2.3 (not sure how tall it is, dual ppga capable, not sure about dual fcpga), ver. 2.0 is probably ok too
    Asus S370-133 (taller than a normal Slot1 cpu, dual ppga but not dual fcpga capable)
    Asus S370-DL (the former king of the slotkets, low profile (not taller than a slot1 cpu), dual ppga and dual fcpga capable)
    Upgradeware SLOT-T (not sure how tall it is, also works with tualatins if your board goes down to 1.3V, needs modification for dual coppermines and dual PIII-S operation, not ppga capable)
    (Asus has a list of its slotkets and their differences, only the information about the voltage jumpers is missing)
    Unfortunately I can't help with availability. Some time ago, it was easy to get one of the branded slotkets. Nowadays, the "normal" slotkets all are no longer available. Maybe you need ebay or something the like to get one. Your best bet is probably the Slot-T adapter, as it's still in production, not that expensive and even works with tualatins (if your board can handle the lower voltages). Powerleap adapters (PL-iP3/T or PL-P3/SMP) are also easily available, they can handle tualatins even if your board can't handle the lower voltages, but they aren't cheap. Powerleap also sells a newer adapter, the SlotWonder, which can handle tualatins but doesn't have its own voltage regulation (and thus is very similar to the Upgradeware Slot-T). That would be a good choice too though it seems it's more expensive than the Slot-T.

    Q: To what settings should the jumpers be set on the slotket?
    A: This depends on the slotket and your cpu. The possible jumper settings are usually printed on the back of the slotket. There are two settings which are important however most times:
    The voltage (if your slotket has voltage adjustment jumpers). If you have a board not capable of delivering voltages below 1.8V, you need to set these jumpers to 1.8V if you want to use a cpu with a coppermine core.
    The cpu type jumper. There is often a jumper called celeron/coppermine, which is a bit confusing, since for coppermine based Celerons (533A and higher) you must set this to coppermine. So, for old celerons (up to 533), use the celeron setting, for anything else (including newer Celerons, PIII, modified Tualatins) set it to coppermine. On some slotkets, the jumper might have a better name, like ppga/fcpga. In this case, set it to ppga for old Celerons, fcpga for anything else.
    The FSB setting of the slotket can safely be ignored, since you need to set it on the board anyways (at least on the boards of the P2B family).
