> What ever happened to bubble memory, anyhow ?

This weeks Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine has a three page
article on a company called Magnesys that manufactures a Bubble memory
system that mimics a 5.25 inch 720K floppy disk drive. The "drive"
costs around $600 and each Bubble memory cartridge costs around $500
in large quantities.
