Thanks for all answers :)
Interesting! Those core memory photos would be a
great addition to
Wikipedia if the photographer is willing to contribute them. For one
thing, that's actually a coincidence addressed memory, which the
current detail photo isn't. Excellent photography!
I've asked, I'll get back with the answer :)
In fact, it looks like a memory with two inhibit wires
rather than the
common single inhibit. This matches what CDC did in the 60-bit
mainframes (6000 series). But it isn't one of those because it has 7
groups of 8 rows, while CDC has 64 rows and colums per plane. 3584
bits per plane... very strange.
If it makes more sense, the plane is double sided
so it tallies up to
7168 bits
cheers,
Pontus.
