I worked at the Kennedy Space Flight Center in the SSPF in 2002 and they told me that the Amiga stuff was long idle.  

As to the disks, one of my day-to-day jobs was erasing them - four passes with blanking software.  I did it to everything from SGI SCSI HDs down to dinky little 3gb IDE drives.
Back away from the EU-SSR!

That sure doesn't sound like the glamorous NASA job that I envisionsed!

I'd rather give them four passes with a rocket assisted sledge hammer or a pocket particle accellerator. :flame:

Along with the other more, ahem, glamorous things I did PC gruntwork was part and parcel of the whole deal.

Besides they paid me $40.00/hr to do it so if they'd asked me to work in the cafeteria all day I'd have done so. :D
