> Unfortunately, wire wrapping equipment is too > expensive for me to justify to myself currently. $30.50 from Mouser [1] :-) I've got a couple of these and the OK power wrap which takes impossible to find NiCd batteries. The point I'm trying to make is that wire wrapping, as a prototyping scheme, is inexpensive , although it is very time consuming. I used to build Z80 systems with wirewrap all the time, and it is both quieter (from an electronic noise perspective) and more durable than solderless breadboards. Of course with places like OSHPark you can make PCBs pretty cheaply so that is a consideration as well. [1] http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/OK-Industries/WSU-30M/?q...
