I'm just amazed that this wasn't done in wire wrap. I can't recall
ever seeing another micro-computer constructed this way. Point to
point hard wiring of circuits like this, pretty much disappeared with
the widespread adoption of the PCB in the late 50's. This reminds me
of the vintage Radio and TV chassis that hobbyist are spending so
much time slaving over these days.
It looks like the builder color coded data bus, address bus and
control signals, which is a pretty nice touch.
