    I think LCRY could be used as a RAM. It can be written with spark and optically read.

    Use a not gate going through a switch, if its expty if gives you a current if the switch is off it doesnt.

    LCRY wouldn't work as RAM, you need to be able to read the RAM with an opcode. LCRY doesn't let you do that.

    Can't you use SWCH as RAM?

    I made a single bit RAM storage with SWCH. Just search for user:Bevinsky.

    You turn it on with PSCN and off with NSCN, and it outputs on the METL. It also should work in any orientation.

    Nice one. But wouldn't it be possible without a battery, and you then let a charge go through it? search for user:Felix that's my idea anyhow.

    I see what you mean. However, if the RAM design has to conform to the way that it did in the first processor, there has to be constant output if it is turned on.

    Of course, if the new design allows for a simple charge going through the RAM to test for 1 or 0, there would be no need for the battery.

    Couldnt the Solid State Stack be used as ram? just replace PSCN with switch?

    Your design is supreme, as wiring has to be done from one less side (input current).

    Just found an amazing discovery by sg. He found a way to send two separate signals down one line of conductor. Search for user:sg and have a look. It might be extremely space-efficient.
