Hardware Description
For DIPS-1, magnetic core memory was used for the main memory units, but it was extremely expensive at that time -- accounting for approx. 30% of the host-center system-hardware cost. There was a need for high-capacity, high-speed virtual memory, and magnetic drum memory units were used for that.
