I build a single-board computer that includes a bubble memory storage device. Bubble memory is a technology that stores bits of data using magnetic domains on a substrate. This board uses the 7110AZ bubble memory storage device together with the associated support chips. The single board computer pairs the bubble memory and support circuitry with an RC2014-like Z80 computer (16K ROM, 32K RAM, a couple of serial ports). I also build a variant that can be used as an expansion card for the RC2014. I show off a couple other boards, including by "Double-Bubble" Heathkit H8 board and my RC2014-SCC board.
