IIRC we had to put together a significant analogue circuit, without any real guidance as to how we'd achieve the high baudrate. The software was running on a minimal CPU that we wired up by hand, the address bus, the databus, the memory chips and everything else... hundreds of cables on breadboards, just for the digital part, and the analog electronics took up more boards. A loose connection caused by moving the boards could cost you hours when restarting. It was definitely too difficult _for me_.
