Abstract:
A read only memory utilizes magnetic cores rotated 90* from the normal orientation about the read/write coincident wires so that their magnetic state cannot be switched, thereby indicating the storage of logical zeroes regardless of the actual state stored. Logical ones may be stored by orienting the magnetic cores in their normal orientation, so that they can be switched. The read only memory may also be combined at random locations in a standard read/write magnetic core memory thereby sharing the read/write logic, sense logic and inhibit logic associated with a single memory system.
