The first computer I ever worked on had 8KB of core memory. It was an old Digital Equipment Corporation pdp-8/e. I loved that machine and its open face tale drives and teletype with paper tape punch and reader and card reader.

    I totally want to try, I think ferrite toroids are everywhere, but the material that core/rope memory rings are made of has a specific magnetic response hysteresis which is important.

      There goes my dream building my own computer if I survived a nuclear apocalypse.
