The second style gives you a long linear workspace with ICs parallel to the rails. The first style gives you blocks of work space with chips vertical in each block. I started off with the second style and in recent years have got used to the first. Both are workable and have advantages and disadvantages.


I've had a closer look into what's available. By rows parallel to
rails do you mean something like this radioshack board?

by rows perpendicular to rails I guess you mean this?

>From what I've seen breadboards are modular so you can put power rails
where you like - so you can have a lot of "blocks" like you say, and
then rails just here and there, or at the very top. You could use the
top two "rows" in each breadboard segment, tie them together with red,
yellow, and black, and have power rails on top this way.. Am I missing
something?

Cheers,
D.
