Abstract
Magnetic bubble memories (MBM) show potential of becoming a major storage technology by 1980. At the same time, the established disk technology will see continued technological and cost-performance improvements well into the 1980's. The fast development of MOS RAM in both cost per bit and bits per chip will also continue at a rapid rate. The emerging MBM technology as well as CCD and EBAM technologies must be competitive with semiconductor RAM's on one hand and disk technology on the other hand for successful market entry. This paper outlines how magnetic bubble memories can achieve status as a major mass storage technology. The key is the growth of microprocessor (MPU) based systems with resulting demand for low cost, small mass storage. MBM characteristics satisfy the requirements for microprocessor mass storage.
