Yup, it's sequentially accessed. At least one
company still sells &
supports it, though I don't know if they're actually producing it at
this point.. It's a really neat technology. It moves the magnetic
domains around "tracks" in (if memory serves) a crystalline garnet
substrate. These domains can be set to "0" or "1" and are read by
moving them past a detector.
At one point, wasn't TI a large supplier of bubble memory?
