@Unixbigot I got a fair amt of wirewrap gear and a few spools in boxes of junk years ago. Nowadays, a wrap tool is $15-50, the headers are infrequent, and I never see this variety of wire colors. But it’s still damn fun to play / prototype with. And once puttered with, the art of building and […]

First ever worked with was a DEC PDP-11/20 with a paper tape reader, used as test Equipment for PBX system cards.

First ever repaired/finished for someone was an Altair 8800.

First ever owned was a VIC-20. I bought an expansion board to add memory and design peripherals with.

I’ve also worked as a bluegrass guitarist and a jazz guitarist and once did session work for a recording studio on an album that was so terrible I refused to be credited.

In my current job, I have a whole dang LIST. Which needs to be updated, it’s missing a few things wyrdingstudios.com/pages/weird

You Wirewrapped WHAT?

Over the years, it’s become a bit of a running joke that if I can get it to hold still long enough, I’ll wirewrap it. The list includes: an arterial line guidewire (unused) in a wedding necklace for ...

I got them finished and now I definitely can not wire wrap for at least a week, which sucks because I have a fair in two weeks and need to make some stuff. #handmadejewelry #wirewrap #wirework

A circle of wire wrap pendants. Each pendant is mostly a wire circle that wraps over and under itself just under the bail. Each pendant has a different colored crystal. Starting top right and going clockwise they are red, blue, green, iridescent, pink and clear. They are on a raspberry colored background

So i have been wirewrapping alot lately. Normally I do wire loops, every now and again I go on a omg i can wirewrap spree. I am 5 projects in and I discovered a tiny blister on my finger tip. I found it when I poked it with the wire and it popped. Owwwwww

It’s not *only* wirewrap (I see a few solder joints too), but it contains a lot of wirewrap. And most pics of wirewrap stuff looks similar to this, although perhaps not quite so spectacular.
And yeah, it was tough - special tools, and the wire had to stripped on one side only…

Eeek !
I was still a kid when wirewrap was still considered a normal prototyping aid, and I missed out on all the "fun".
Looking at designs like this one, I feel like I was better off not experiencing it firsthand.

in honor of the IBM PC's 45th anniversary today, here is the original prototype motherboard!

which side is your favorite?

a large prototyping circuit board with a grid of holes. it is covered with chips and red bypass capacitors soldered diagonally across many of the chips. you can tell it is a PC because of the 5 ISA slots and the keyboard connector.

the bottom of the board reveals a ratnest of yellow wires along with a few thicker blue and black wires, presumably for power and ground.

I worked on an old Sperry computer for marine systems inertial navigation... It was built on a wirewrap backplane with hundreds of small SEM modules, each performing the same role as SSI logic chips... buffers, latches, address decoding, IO and memories, etc

What a mess
