I'm glad we can agree on this. Of course the Earth is round.
It's also hollow.
To try and turn this thread around: I'm looking to make an
extended memory controller for my pdp8/L. I've got a wire
wrap backplane and enough cards to make it work but I've
never done wire-wrap on this sort of scale.
I've got an old Radio Shack Wire wrap tool and a lot of
wire. Is there any sites that discuss how to do reasonable
wire-wrapping?
I have a program that takes coordinates of ICs and/or
connectors and a net list and creates a wiring list for
first-level and 2nd level wires with shortest length.
It tells what length wire to use.
It is written in Pascal, and uses a genetic algorithm to
find the shortest path. Sometimes that doesn't give the
best wire routing, but it tries. I have not used this
program in several decades, but I'd be glad to give it to you.
