fry your oven I think!

How about laser-etching? Possibly onto small aluminium discs, maybe
about 5" in diameter. Of course, if aluminium proved to be too heavy,
you could probably do it with a thin aluminium coating deposited onto a
clear plastic disc. There probably aren't many things that would
pass the test with a bit
error rate of what any archivist would consider adequate (one
unrecoverable error every megabit?) aside from a holographic
recording technique at low enough density.
Printed bit pattern with parity bits on archival paper?
Bit pattern scratched into metal plates by an engraving tip mounted in
an X-Y flatbed plotter?
