Intel used Bubble memory to drive their speech processing stuff. Look for
Intel bubble memory among the cards.
Nice find.

They were also used in some of their MDSs. It was also optional in the
iPDSs. In it the bubble usually contained the operating system and
developement software but it acted as a disk drive so you could store
anything in it that you wanted to.
FWIW I used to have a bubble memory card for the PC. It came with a
collection of bubble memory manuals, data sheets and other docs and some
developement software. I THINK it was put out by Intel but it's been a long
time since I've seen it.

The Sharp PC-5000 uses bubble memory carthridges as "disk drives". It
runs MS-DOS from the bubble memory. Another computer that uses bubble
memory is the Teleram 3000 (very obscure).

That sounds really cool. Along with several dozen bubble memory modules
plus a bunch of bubble memory boards and several computers that use bubble
memory, I have a book on using bubble memory and a TI datasheet on their
bubble memory product.
Bubble memory is cool.
