I'd like the member's opinion on the credibility of Atom Chip Corp.'s claim to have developed optical RAM that employs holographic storage techniques. http://www.atomchip.com I had read years ago that IBM was looking into holographic methods for data storage, but a friend of mine pointed out that you'd need really deep-pockets to develop this kind of technology and he doubted a small outfit like Atom Chip could do it. Linux's problem with SATA drivers made me think of this, because Atom Chip claims their notebook operates without a hard drive but with lots of optical RAM, and can run Linux or XP. Does anyone know anything about Atom Chips's corporate status and the validity of their claims?
