I have been watching this too, yes. Fortunately I already have a

Yes, and I plan to do just that (assuming I ever actually get around to it)!
But the first priority will be archiving the firmware that's
Do not remove the chip from the bias magnets. All will be lost if you do.
The Nicolet 3091 used a bubble memory but I don't know it it was the Intel or
other manufacture.

Is my understanding correct that removing the entire 7110 module as a unit
(whether socketed or soldered in) should be somewhat safe, but any attempt to

A library near me has art work facade about 20 feet tall with the castings of
old radios, tv's and computers. Some of these I'd have liked to have had. I
doubt any were saved after making the original casting.

The bias field keeps the domains from becoming random. It is interesting that I
was reading about making newer versions of bubble like memory with thin films.
They are expecting something like 10 times the data density that current
spinning media can have and faster access with no moving parts.

It's easy to design an emulator at the level of the D7220 host interface.
It is _difficult_ to design an emulator at the interface between the D7220

That's true, but AFAIK all commercially produced bubble memory devices,
including Intel (7110 1Mbit, 7114 4Mbit) and TI, the bias magnets are

If you do lose the formatting of an Intel 7110 bubble memory device, to
reformat it you need something Intel called a "seed module". The
instructions to build a seed module are in the BPK72 manual.
