Oh my, that is an oldie.

The core memory I've got is planar on a PCB.

Looks sort of like this one

except mine are in a Data General Nova 2/10 mini like this puppy (not
counting the top 'data rack', whatever that is).

Mine's in a 6 foot 19 inch rack in the garage and probably home to all
sort of critters by now.


Somewhere I have a single plane that I believe was originally mounted
on a PCB. If memory serves it had four 8 by 8 matrices. Again, I have no
idea what it was from.
