   An unsung benefit of core memory's non-volatility is that, decades later, forgotten core stacks discovered in storage might still retain whatever data they held when they were powered off.

   You just only get one chance to read it.

   I'm not aware of any good writeups of such discoveries, though.

      Could you read it with a flatbed scanner or other photography? That should be unobtrusive.
