Hi,

I am looking into the use of the 'Vero Wire' prototyping system for the
construction of a small micro board. For those of you who do not know
what 'Vero Wire' is (it may have a different name in your country) I shall
explain. Vero Wire is a wiring system for creating prototype circuit
boards. It consists of a pen and 30 SWG wire (I think may be thinner). The
wire is copper and insulated. The user takes the wire and wraps it round the 
leg of an IC/component/socket and takes the wire onto a plastic comb. The
wire is then routed along a series of combbs to the other components to
which connections are required. When the routing for a particular wire
is done the wraped connections are soldered to break the insulation and
make a joint.

This prototyping system has the advantage over wire-wrap in that the boards
are much thinner (the same as a PCB).

I would like to hear from people who have had experience with this system
and the problems they have encountered (reliability, and types of circuit
it is suitable for). I am interested in the effects of noise and crosstalk 
on the wires, and the sorts of speed of micro you can build.

If I get a positive response and development looks promising I shall post
an account of my experiences.

Thank you,

Andrew Smith.
