Memory fabric? I have here a core memory plane from a Collins B-8500 computer.
It's 16K bits of ferrite cores in an array of fine wires. From a distance, it
looks like fabric. ;-)

I'm in the UK bit in the early '70s I used files housed on machines in the US.
It was cheaper to do it that way than use UK housed machines. Then there was
JANET which began operations in the 1970s and is still with us. These things
would have been known in the US then.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It is an MFM. It has a map of bad sectors on it, it has a way of adding new
blocks to the bad memory block (a checkdisk appliction). Might even have a copy
of DOS 3.2 and Windows 1.01 - 3.1. ICBTTC[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

With the prior art examples of the HDD and RAID 1, I wonder how well the patent
fulfils the following patent law.
§112(a) In General.— The
specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the
manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and
exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or
with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set
forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor or joint inventor of carrying
out the invention.
(b) Conclusion.— The specification shall conclude
with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the
subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the
invention.
How many 'systems' that might be found by the courts to
infringe could be carried out by following the patent specification and
have the patented invention pointed out within the infringing
system.

Since the early days of computing it has been the normal practice to create
backup copies of data and to house them in a different location, initially on
tape. LEO would have been one of the earliest. This patent is surrounded by
assorted prior art, known to the US, and should never have been granted.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
