I will have to disagree with you Roger. With wire wrap you ALWAYS have a mess! A printed prototype board will not have power distribution problems ( we use power and ground layers on all boards) and will have interconnections that match the schematic. All changes are also easy to identify. It is no contest, our technicians' time is best spent doing things other than wirewraping. -- Ken Thompson N0ITL NCR Corp. 3718 N.

When I worked with high speed data stuff (200 megsbtes/sec) we used wirewrap boards. Wish I could remember the trade name, but they cost mucho $$$$ each, and had several layers of gnd & Vcc, with enough c between them to help filter stuff. Our problems were that the automatic wirelist--> wrap machine link made errors (ooops!) that were hell to find. Of course, that 74F stuff didn't help matters much. It considered anything as a valid input and counted away. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.....wb8foz@mthvax.cs.miami.edu & no one will talk to a host that's close............(305) 255-RTFM Unless the host (that isn't close)......................pob 570-335 is busy, hung or dead....................................33257-0335
