Did you read the posts in this thread Paul?

If your 3200 holes are in one of these....



...then you are going to run into problems. The reasons were stated by several of the other responders above.

I can tell you that I have four or five of those plug board type things that I used to use for simple low level analog and CD4000 series logic circuits. When the world moved up to modern day type CMOS logic chips, CPLDs and microcontrollers I put the plug boards away in a box someplace. Once again for the reasons that have been presented above.

Take a look at what you invest for something that is not suitable for reliable prototyping .... and compare that to the price of one of these eval boards -- for $99 USD ... plus a good soldering iron and you should be good to go!!
