I have a version of a full size 8" floppy drive footprint (or hard
drive) which is wafer scale storage.
thanks

An interesting project that Sir Clive was involved in

The goal was to eventually do what the Cerebras people are now doing
(with lots of positive press), but their first products attempted to
replace hard disks with battery-backed wafer scale SRAMs. The many-core
processors would come later, but as HD densities took off (after only
having grown slowly from the mid 1970s to mid 1980s) the investors
pulled out.
