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. Allison
