Sorry, I forgot to include the link.
The core plane I have, from the Collins computer, looks very similar to the one in "Figure 4. Magnetic core plane". Incidentally, back in the late '50s, IBM was able to reduce the cost of core memory to $1 per byte. There's a good description of the development of core memory, in the book "IBM's Early Computers". ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
