Have done miles of hand wire-wrap especially in the old 8085/Z80/8048 days. Some may remember the famed "Modified Wrap" which Gardner-Denver used to present as the "next big thing" in wrap pencils.

One disapointment was the "Slit and Wrap" which i never found reliable but promised much for "bussed" configurations.


I mainly use "point to point" construction techniques when i am not using a PCB today.
