I have seen photos of apple IIe prototype laid out on
early
pre-production logic board, one of that 40 pin chipset socket is
hooked to a equally same size board filled to the 4 edges with
tightly packed TTLs and few large ICs, I think it was shown in Byte
as well as few other publicatons. Large board full of chips vs. 40
pin IC, same thing...Amazing!
Then there is the Amiga prototype that was spread across four
large boards, 1 for each custom chip.
