- There are them ol' breadboard ISA cards that you can wrap or

- I believe JDR Microdevices carries them, but if not I can look and
- see where I last saw them. This might be a good compromise between
- cranking out a foil imprint and wrapping, and you can socket the
- chips (which is handy in case replacement is necessary).
