>>I'll have a extreme hard time to imagine how's that work

Me too, Andy. Thanks for asking the question I was trying
to formulate. Parity can detect it but magic would have to
correct it without the extra bits. Or I'm nuts, but by
my bit count I'm not nuts. Conceivably high entropy <g>. All
distinct possibilities. BTW, you say 3 bits per byte, but
ECC works on bigger hunks, doesn't it? More like 32 or 64
bits? My impression, anyhow. I must go count up some more
bits. Lessee, here, add 1, modulo 7, carry the 3 ... <ggg>.
