[For the
record a 4K core stack in an 8 consists of a G104, G227, and H220
card. It was the H220 card that had the actual core "mats" on it. The H220
card is often "liberated" from PDP-8's as a trophy/display item.]
YEs, but... The H220 (or the 8K core plane that I've forgotten the name
of) has 8 connectors on it (4 into the bus, 4 to top connectors to the XY
and sense/inhibit boards). When in place it's fairly well hidden by those
top connector blocks as well. So it's possible the core planes _were_
still in the machine, but they hadn't spotted them. Unlikely, I guess.
