@kamiga

That's the point, though. It could be slightly redesigned to use your decoding mechanism (or preferrably, a toggle for either) and a standard set of interpreters. Or something like that. Plus, the author obviously knows a thing or two about floppy disk hardware. It's a good collaboration opportunity.

I like the idea too, hope it works with protected disks too, so we could backup the originals.
BTW, if diskette is AmigaDOS, you should have more error corrections available, right?

I had the same idea for, say, .zip archives. If you know there is only single bit error (and that happens to me often when using USB storage), you could change each bit one by one and test crc.
