Did Shuttle fly with these bodge-wired boards or were these used for development on the ground?

I don't know if these boards were flown. They were coated with conformal coating (which I hate for reverse-engineering), which is usually omitted from prototypes. I believe that bodge wires are okay for flight if they are done properly.

That's amazing. My bodge-wired work won't last 10 miles in the trunk of my car.

As always - great article.

FYI - The link for Peter Kogge is broken and should probably link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kogge
