Sorry, that doesn't (excuse the pun) compute. A single bit error would
alter the total by a power of two: I'd believe that 7 turned into 1031,
but not 1007. Sounds like a company legend.
How soon they forget the IBM 705, 7080, et al. A one bit error could
most definitely turn 0007 into 1007.
I never worked with IBM 705 or 7080 equipment. What made it possible
for a one-bit error to have that effect?
Decimal arithmetic, of course.
R's,
John
