[RndTbl] optical RAM ?

[schwartz]

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?
