Hobbyist Builds Working 16-Bit DIY Magnetic Core Memory
Original: 16-bit fully functional DIY magnetic core memory
A hobbyist has built a fully functional 16-bit magnetic core memory array from scratch and shared the project online. Core memory, an early storage technology where tiny magnetized rings store bits, is rarely hand-built today, making the working DIY implementation notable. Readers of the technology community are discussing the build, praising the engineering involved and reminiscing about a computing technique that predates modern semiconductor RAM.
Why now: The rare revival of an obsolete computing technology built working by hand is drawing admiration from technically minded readers.
