Core was in effect ROM. Power the system down switch off and anytime later
turn it back on and whatever was
in core was still there. I can remember our Field Service guys restarting
the final factory diagnositc on new systems.
I understand how core works, I'm just _seriously_ doubting the guy's post
where he talked about modifying a core "ROM" by hand by changing the
wiring. However, since I'm not hugely familiar with what went on during
that era, I want to make sure where I stand before I tell him he's full of
it. :)
