Hi Robert, cc questions@ cc postmaster@ (***) > What I am is an information systems professional with 45 years experience.
Interesting reading that & your prior post. 'Edge of the track, & turn up the op. amps' has been an interesting technique for decades, I first read of it maybe 70's or 80's ? I bet some, eg in government or private espionage, & desperate incompetent bankers, & their employed service firms, probably had fun seeing what was possible. (Envy ;-) BTW I too wrote a recoverer way back, just for floppies http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/valid/ Worked very well, recovered data while wearing media out. I ported it to FreeBSD, but it was never as good there, I never hacked BSD drivers to support it to do bit averaging if all CRCs failed.

His blinkered noise pollutes too often, while too many have failed to reason with him, on too many subjects on questions@ & hackers@. I & someone on hackers@ already filter out his noise. http://berklix.com/~jhs/dots/.procmailrc.lists Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, cumulative like a play script, & indent with "> ".
