>>Its a forward error correction code based on Reed-Solomon encoding aka "Galois field Multiplication" invloving prime polynomials. Right, I understand that (I actually don't, now, but there was once in my life I went through it <g>). But I know what you mean. I don't question the ability to correct, just wondering where the correction data comes from. 8 bits to 64 was just about as I remembered it. Parity post should make my real question clearer. We're crossing in posts. Should make for interesting reading <g>. Spots
