Jon,
Yes, you could.? The Burroughs doc seems to say the FM is supposed to be
there between every group of labels and the preceding or following data,
though.
Well, then the only thing you can do is Magna-See or one of the dry
magnetic viewers.
I can't say that I've ever observed that, but then, I probably never
looked for it either. 80 bytes starting with HDRx, etc. is a pretty
good indicator of the nature of the block. I've seen lots of tapes with
81-character records, however. (Univac 36 bit systems for example).
