We've got a wire wrapped board here, running TWO I960 CPU's at 33 Mhz.
Within a few weeks we'll have a 50Mhz board up and running (with a different
processor).

In a way, wire wrapping is easier: you've got less routing problems, and
can take the shortest way from A to B. On the other side you need a
board that has good power and ground planes.
