[Coco] Totally OT: Terabit memory device

[Bootstrap Bill]

Back in 1991 or 1992, I read an article in the Orange County Register
(California) about a new memory device that was being developed by a chemist
at UCI.  It was about the size of a sugar cube and had no moving parts,
somehow using a mesh of lasers to read and write. Storage capacity was about
a terabit. The access speed was comparable to RAM at the time. The article
went on to say it would take about a decade to get it to market. The ten
year mark was passed a couple years ago.

Has anyone heard anything about it? Are they ready to test it?
