Stacks of wire wrapped boards were used to simulate each custom chip before silicon was available. Schematics for each chip were subsequently redrawn in order to reproduce the behavior of the stacks. Dave Needle assembled them using a wire wrap gun and pre-stripped wire cut to specific lengths. Each board took a number of days. As with the chip schematics, a yellow marker was used to verify each connection.
