The stuff is really called "vertical Bloch line memory." It's 250M bits-per-square-cm, which comes to roughly 30Mbyte chips. Access time is 1240M bits-per-second, or roughly 1ms to find the thing you want. Now the bad news: I forgot to write the guy's name down, and I didn't get the handout. Aaack! Now I gotta go look in the SCI! --Blair "No, really, I like the SCI, even if it doesn't auto-pluralize... Now, Can You Please Resume Spelling My Name Correctly?"
