Yep!!!
I just found out about some 32k x 8 ( 3.3 volt )
non volatile memory FM18L08. They say it has a
10 year data retention and unlimited read/write cycles.
They are about $8.91 at Newark each. While they still sell them in
DIP packaging has anybody considered useing them to replace
Core memory in the older machines?

Yeah, I started working on such a project for my 8/e a while back, but
never got anywhere with it - just the basic idea. Was going to combine
the FM18L08s to make 32Kwords of 12 bits, plus build an emulated RK05
using compact flash into the board.
