    Must have been a nightmare to assemble

      Well it took a time and some patient. This memory unit was made by hands, nobody make memory in that way now.

      Well, it's still possible to assemble by hand.
      Try to do that with modern chips (:

    This video is the most mind-blowing video I have ever seen in my life. It is absolutely amazing the science that have gone into creating this. Best video ever hands down.

      Considering significant advancements like these, it is easy to understand why, or at least a popular reason, people become so obsessed with war.

      I don't know who the manufacturer was, but it supposedly came from a 'Saratov 2' which was a clone of the western PDP8 computer.

    Ram is not non-volatile.

    • @RobertElderSoftware
      @RobertElderSoftware  10 месяцев назад +7

      True, but on a physical/analog level, there technically isn't any such a thing as pure volatile or pure non-volatile memory. I compared this piece of memory to 'RAM' since that's basically how it was used back in the day, but it was also used for long-term storage in some cases as well, so it's hard to give it a strict classification.

      sram is non-volatile, but it's mostly used in CPU caches

    • @BrekMartin
      @BrekMartin 8 месяцев назад +5

      The terms RAM & ROM only signal intention, not characteristic or function. In several systems RAM has been used as ROM. You could hardly classify a memory as ROM when you can write without care, but just one read will erase its content.
