I am definitely not locked in on any particular format, so whatever will let us store and retrieve lots of data through a few lines is okay with me. If it happens to be nonvolatile and one can reuse the device thousands of times, that's even better. I think there could even be a market for experimenter sockets that at least produce a set of pins that can be either soldered to a printed circuit board or pushed in to a nest that can then be wire-wrapped. Anything to get the logistics on a manageable scale.
