I'm planning to resurrect some old core memory as a hobby project. I was wondering if anyone with experience on getting this memory working could provide some insights on what I should look for.
EBay seems to have a large number of expensive ones that don't appear to be in working order - along with some much cheaper (relatively speaking) russian made stacks.
First of all, and this may be obvious, look for lower-density core if you can find it. It will usually require higher drive currents, but will be much easier to deal with overall. Have you seen the BYTE magazine core memory article? -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
