Subject: Changing wire-wrap configurations on DEC circuit boards

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?

I have a hlf dozen wirewrap tools laying around.  I have found little if any
difference in them.  Amazon has them for $10 to about $30 dollars. If it
matches the size wire your using the Radio Shack works fine for me.
