It's possible to use stone generators, and silverfish spawners to write/read a line of infested stone vs cobblestone.
A stone generator feeds through a 1x1 opening in a silverfish spawner.
When the silverfish infects the stone, an observer sends a control pulse to push next bit
A cobblestone generator makes uninfected bits
writing a string of 10101010 etc. is just pistons selectively merging the two generator outputs
The possibilities of storing these lines of data are endless. For one, they can be wound up into a snail, or folded and stacked --_--_--_
an example storage disk can be read with minecarts/detectors etc.
The line of data needs to be destroyed during reading, for example with TNT.
An infinite way to do it requires some snowmen aggrovating a silverfish that's 10 units away from the bit currently read.
This makes the infested stone (1) randomly destroy, dropping a silverfish on a stone plate. (2 observer pulses)
The cobblestone needs to be also infested, so there's another silverfish spawner to destroy the (0) bits. (3 observer pulses)
the circuit I used to read if it was a 0 or 1 read: counts observer pulses, summarizes when the stone plate is pressed.
(also there is a cauldron of lava under the stone plate which seems to work fast)
