The other problem is thst you are deaing with relatively high-seed logic
signals. You do have to use twised-pair wire (twi=sed iw tha groudn wire)
for some of the signals.
Making a backplane is possible, I did it. Mine was for Unibus, and i did
have hte right DEC connctor blocks and frame, so it was 'just' a matter
of getting the wire-wrap right. Even so, look around for the right one first.

I'd be unable to roll my
own of?
Not literally impossible but quite a project since no one (that I know of)
still makes connectors that are an exact fit. EDAC makes shallower ones with
the correct finger spacing though, so you could use those as long as you
