I've seen the original bubble memory kit he based the interface on
listed on ebay several times but never a coco board.
The plans were in ColorComputer magazine weren't they?

The technology is very different.  Bubble was slow and expensive and
this is as fast as regular RAM (or so they claim).  With any luck this
will mean the eventual end of flash memory for all but a few
applications.  No more funky programming routines to erase or write,
just write to it like RAM.
It should also mean a boost for Freescale's stock.

BTW, they have been talking about this technology for a while.  Nice
to see it's finally going to be available.

Hmmmm... it sounds like the beginning of a good CoCo project. ;)
