Think there's any place left in the World that might still make Core Memory ?
I know it's a stretch
I've read that the ordinary Ferrite Cores that being sold aren't good enough - as they are the 'Soft' Ferrite Cores. You actually need 'Hard' Ferrite Cores which retain the magnetism, and having a sharper BH curve, as in the original Core Memory modules.
I hate to strip the Cores from an old memory module - even if it were something that had no chance of reviving. Plus, I hate to have to sew 'n thread a Core memory
I recently found a reference to a seller in Bulgaria on eB@y which does sell 'Hard' Ferrite Cores by the hundreds.
