My quickie Propeller dev board

So I was in dire need of a proto/dev board for my Propeller DIP-40 that I bought back when it first came out. But I wanted to work with it last week, so I didn't want to order anything. So I went to radio shack, and actually managed to find everything I needed to build one!
The only things you see here that you can't get at radio shack are the Propeller, EEPROM, xtal, and the headers... and the LCD.
Anyway I figured someone might get a kick out of it.

    Hi Whelzorn.

    You did well.. that looks simple and a very workable solution to get started.
    Well done..

    very clean. Let's look at the flip side to see how you do things there: solder or wire wrap? (Rooting for wrap, but I'm guessing soldered after another look.)

    Sweet job on that impromptu propeller board! My hat is off to you for being able
    to piece that together from the source you had. Shopping in that store is a little like
    a "junkyard-wars" ("scrapheap challenge" for my euro friends) experience. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Fred, I attached a shot from the bottom. It's all soldered. I've never wire wrapped before, I'm too young for that I think wink.gif (jk, but i really don't know how) so I am careful with my component layout to make sure I can use as few jumpers as possible. You can't see it in the pics, but there are some wires underneath the propeller's socket too.

    @Whelzorn: The Radio Shack board looks interesting but quite expensive; I did this some time ago on a 60 (Euro-) Cent board ... Think I posted it somewhere some time ago..
