Background : I am musing on how to give a small amount of storage,

I do not care about speed and efficiency.
Myself for 100k I'd use a EEprom. Eprom or even 128k ram with a battery.
That was my immediate thought too, but it perhaps depends on whether the
OP meant KB or Kb.
I meant 100Kbytes.
And of course whether they have ease of portability
issues in mind.
Not really, it was more a
question of having some "stylish correct"
storage for the planned system.
But certainly from an interfacing point of view to a
'low tech CPU' I doubt there's anything
easier than an EEPROM.
I fully realize there are easier options. If that was my concern I would
have gone for the SD-card solution.
However I might cut corners and go for a simple one-sector per track
implementation.
Allison's suggestion of feeding squarewaves and looking at what comes
back seems like a good idea, and will be a starting point.
