I carry an old 360/30 core memory around in my wallet. When I
acquired it in 1973 I could see the hole in the center with the
{*filter*} eye. Now I can no longer see the hole in the center, even with
my reading glasses on. I have it taped to the back of an old
business card. Most people think it is a blot of ink.
Sorry, it is not for sale. Over the years I have shown it to a lot
of people, especially programmers. It amazes me how many old timer
programmers have never seen a 360 core memory.
Good luck in your search. If you happen to live around San Jose, CA,
have your kids stop by and I can show it to them.
