Robinson-Nugent has made a similar product for years - and I bet it's a lot
cheaper than 3M.  About the only really high-priced item for this wiring
system is the Teflon-coated wire.  Check-out Viking Distributors in Minnesota
for more info.  And, even if it is a little more expensive than regular wire-
wrapping the headaches that it prevents are worth it.
