    @natecull please tell me they at least had a bunch of toggle switches somewhere in case it got wiped so houston could read it back to them and they could program it back in

    @jk @natecull it was CORE ram, which is nonvolatile. You can still recover the databits in the old core planes you find on ebay, but you have ONE (1) chance to get them right. If your sense amps dont work and cant read them, it's done. The cores can only be read destructively and need immediate reprogramming to retain the value.

    If you already know this please forgive me, I just think it's cool info that will be interesting for someone else.
