[which will evolve] Partly depends on how good you are at wrapping (I'm terrible at it). Back when the 68008 came out, I breadboarded a small system and it worked just great. However, I was only running at 8Mhz. It was very easy to modify and expand, tho. I'd guess that if you kept the clock speed slow while breadboarding, you could get away with a lot of additions. Later, when you're satisfied with the design, you could go to wirewrap. Luck! best - kev
