Hey guys,
Sorry for the shameful plug but...
While digging through my stash of stuff, I came upon a pile of AUGAT
wirewarp boards. I had totally forgotten that I even had them until I saw
the recent posts about prototyping.
The boards are approximately 10" X 10" square. They have gold pins that are
in a .1" X .4" grid with 31 rows with 82 pins in each row. There are also 21
V+ and GND pins between each of the rows. There are decoupling caps soldered
to about 20 percent of the power supply pins. That's 2400+ empty pins on
each board!
I got the boards many years ago from a scrapper. He had a gaylord bin
completely filled with them. Must have been 1000 boards in that bin! Some of
the boards will have a few bent pins but, they can be easily straitened.
Gold was much cheaper back then so, I grabbed an armload (30 or so).
When I needed a board for a project, I just used a jigsaw and cut them into
smaller pieces appropriate for the project. Doing that, you can get several
nice project boards out of each of the large boards.
The boards were from and existing system so, they are already wrapped. To
use the boards, you'd just have to unwrap the pins. It's tedious work but at
least it is somewhat therapudic.
At this point, I making my own PCB's so, I really don't need the wirewrap
boards anymore. So, before putting them on ebay, I figured I'd offer them
here.
I don't have any pictures but I can take some if anyone is interested.
These are really nice boards so, I think they would be a bargain at $20 each
(plus postage) from North Carolina. Any takers?
