The Apollo Guidance Computer restoration team, consisting of Mike Stewart, Carl Claunch, Marc Verdiell, and Ken Shirrif ran into challenges simulating the permanent storage. In flight the persitent storage was made of core ropes, though these were simulated on the ground. The team is currently reverse engineering the rope simulators, which were used on the ground and originally built with 7400-series TTL integrated circuits, so as to avoid having to thread an overwhelming multitude of cores with each new version. Once completed the programs were hard-wired into the computers by passing wires through magnetic rings, a process which took many weeks and had to be done correctly the first time. The restoration team opted for a simpler method and built theirs from a BeagleBone.
