[sdiy] breadboard, was: Minimum spacing between 1/4" jacks on DOTCOM modules..

[Tony Kalomiris]

Paul is that the Vero board where you cut tracks with the Vero tool, or pad per hole and you use the component leads for connections ? I loved building from the UK mags like Practical Electronics, they always had a diagram for Vero construction showing you where to cut and put jumpers. (Anyone remember those A.R. Bradford (sp) DIY projects like the "Percussion Microsynth?" Ah those were the days...and of course E&MM too.)

 There was a Canadian product called 'END" (Electronic Network Designer) that was a combination breadboard and prototyping card....you flip it over when done and solder the breadboard jumpers...and you're done (the cover had a foam to hold the parts in place...but only good for low profile designs or less you end up with parts falling out...Good idea but costly and the final board warped when fully populated.
