That doesn't really make any sense. If Kubrick had encountered computer storage in the '60s, it was most likely to be drum memory or core memory. Neither resembles this system. Core memory could theoretically be set up to use this sort of system. Drum memory could not. In any case, I'm inclined to believe this is just Kubrick being imaginative. Memory up to the 60s was such a mess of fast moving technologies that there would be no reason at all to presume 2001 would see anything like them in use.
You remember that too?Then can you remember what it was called? Because I've been wondering if I could ever find that program again... childhood memories and all.

When the computer from the 50's starts singing it sounds a lot like GLaDOS singing Still Alive.
