My suggestion needed an additional connector, and would offer nothing by having it. to another point brought up, I was only worried about enough fingers, not too few. I have access to a couple of Standard wire wrap machines, and the lady who used to run it, if anyone can get an idea how to do the boards, and get the paper tapes. I wonder if it is worth the effort of wirewrap, since the connectors don't have wirewrap tails? It's been a while since I looked at what goes on with the DEC backplanes and wirewrap. Do they populate pins regardless of the connectors having wirewrap tails, or are the pins mostly from the connectors? We had a system which used a lot of wirewrap boards, (off these machines) but we never lacked for PC backplanes and card cages due to a good surplus buy. So I didn't have to wirewrap any backplanes, thank goodness. Jim
