The New Curiosity Shop's Giant Magnetic Disk Drive™:
The World's Slowest and Lowest Density Disk Drive
 
Type up to 7 characters on the keyboard, then watch as the head writes the data as ASCII code.
 
The electromagnet on the head writes the data by flipping magnets from the red side to the green side or vice versa.
 
After writing and then reading the data, use the external "data disrupter" magnet to flip a magnetic bit or two. Read the data again to discover that what was written really was stored only in the position of the magnets!
