I have an idea to produce an MM-8 clone using RAM
that acts like core when turned off.
Can anybody suggest a chip that will do this?

I used Everspin MRAM chips for my PDP-8e memory cards. It's just like
SRAM, fast at 35 ns, and unlimited read/write endurance.
Only drawback is it's 3.3 volts only. I just used level converters. It's
a magnetoresistive memory, feels just like core.
$12 for a 64K x 16 chip at Digikey.
