Well, some guy showed me a picture of something in the middle distance that might have been Veroboard. Santa was holding it, Elvis was pointing at it Seriously though, Veroboard is everywhere, a very common product you can get easily from any electronics supplier. I believe it's part of APW now (http://www.apw.com) -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

>Yeap that is the stuff :o) >The hole spacing will be 2.54mm (0.1") But do be aware that there has in the past been stuff made with 0.156 inch spacing, but it is pretty rare these days. It does pay to double check though when ordering, as I am aware that I can still order the 0.156 inch stuff in the UK. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

Not sure what the strip board is. But you might do much better using the DIP Board, a "related products". It looks like it has pads you can solder the dip sockets to, as well as discreet components. And you will not need tool to break up strips on the dip board. But you will need small gauge solid wire. I would recommend 30 gauge wire wrap wire. Which means you need a way to strip such a small wire, and the hand wire wrap tool has a striper on it as well as a wrap and unwrap bit. Now you have the tool and wire, maybe get some wire wrap sockets and ........... it never ends. Bill {Original Message removed}
