Hi there,
I've got a couple of DEC QBUS boards (including a quad SLU) for which
configuration is set by wire-wrap jumpers. I don't have a wire-wrap tool,
and have found that trying this by hand without one is not workable.
Has anyone come up with a clever way to permit reconfiguration of these
boards without semi-permanent changes? Or, alternatively, what wire-wrap
tool would you recommend?
Thanks!

I use wirewrap as the spacing and distance between boards does not
permit anything else.
OK too makes a good simple hand tool and more elaborate ones as needed.
Its worth the
tool even if you go with the simple hand tool that looks sorta like a
screwdriver.
Keep in mind with Qbus unless you insert grant cards you can't double
space boards.
I only have 8 Qbus systems from LSI-11 through MicroVAX.
