Summary: If you are careful it can be made to work

Three of us used Slit-n-Wrap technology to build an 8080 system with 2102
memory devices (an 8K memory board was about 70 chips on a 6x12" or so card).
Needless to say there were a lot of connections in that system, including
many that were bussed (like address and data lines on memory board).  We
were lazy and just daisy-chained them.  (There is a better way, one in which
you have to rewrap a max of three posts to change a connection).

The beast actually ran.  Even the funny virtual memory hardware.

The technique can be made to work.
