I got email from Jerry Pournelle, the scifi writer and the writer for
BYTE magazine, of which I was talking of about the ramdisk board.

I asked several questions including one about the board and if he had
the old files he said (this is lifed from the email)

" 3. I think I still have that bubble memory card. There were also
external
glass disks of what was then enormous capacity./

I fear I do not have electronic copies of the older BYTE articles.
They were
on 8" floppies....
