This picture reminded me. For an early use, I had soldered header
pins to a 9V battery snap this means If I wanted to do a circuit
powered from a 9V battery, I could just plug the battery into the
power bus (or into two rows) to use as power. I alos have a set with
three pins and two battery snapd for bi-polar power.

I kept a weak battery around so that I could see what happens when
the battery runs down.


If you mount the far as backing the plastic proto boards on
something, make sure it win't flrs. I had one of the expensive RS
ones they sold mounted on a metal plate. The adhesive they used
pulled the backing off and the pins out when the metal flexed and
bent. If you DIY use something that wont flex.

Still playing with an 1802 computer (and hurricane repairs, and
remodeling.) I'm almost ready to use the 1802 to control a PROM
programmer I'm building so that I can use newer processors so that I
can build a wave table. I STILL PREFER ANALOG.
