Paul:
A *LONG* time ago I was told by an IBM friend that the CIA (NSA?) was
able to retrieve data (in readable format) from a 3330 after quite a
few writes.
This was during the time (shortly there after) of the email debacle
from the WH.
My friend was sparse with details (he worked in the WH btw so he
would not get specific).

As you

reconstructed by
reading the bits on a track that were randomly laid down outside
the mode
write path of a head. ...
I didn't see the citation (from R.S.?). My favorite is:

(I don't know the credentials of that author. Caveat lector.)
Why 35, not 34 or 36 or ...? Colonic extraction?
