All in what you consider to be data I guess. To me, garbage is data that
happens to be aded on.
regarding Kansas City Standard… the problem with it was manyfold, but the
biggest were speed and the method most of the implementations were done.
Since it was nothing more or less than redundant phase encoding, a far
better method was to simply make it phase encoding, saving a lot of cycles
better spent reading more data instead of trusting a semi-analog ciruit to
hopefully lock on to the current bit. I designed and built a circuit that
was cheaper and more reliable than KCS, and had the additional advantage of
running at 4200 baud. I didn't have much good to say about KCS then, and
still don't. It showed the influence of a lot of outspoken people who
pushed things through while ignoring the pleas of the more knowledgeable
who were trying to get something that would do the best job accepted.
