Lovely visualization of knowledge that is only usually obtained through low-level spleunking.

I'd love to see visualizations of some of the encryption approaches used on the Apple ][, where sector alignment was shifted, file table indexeas moved, data interleaving, etc. This was all possible due to the soft-sectored disks and timings determined in software (Woz's genius move to reduce chip count!) I could never wrap my mind around what was happening to the data.
