It's difficult to give you information about wirewrapped boards. What,
exactly, did you want to know. You're probably right in that the backplane
is S-100, since that's what the Wunderbuss was. It's clear what the 8"
floppy drives are. I certainly can't tell you what the punch/reader is if
you can't tell. Mounting a motherboard on plywood was an easy way to do
things if you knew well in advance that you needed to "get at" the boards
with 'scope probes, etc. It saved extender boards and the associated
problems.

for it....
It's a homebrew (s-100??? mounted on plywood for chriscakes). Thinker
toys
Wunderbuss, 11 slot mb, 2x8" drives,
2x(stringy?)wafer drives, alot of
wirewrap boards... maybe a punchtape/reader :) !!!
Can anyone give me more/any info on this type of setup??
