The Model 1090 Degausser/Eraser

Your first defense in floppy diskette control is the Model 1090 Degausser/Eraser.

Conventional magnetic recording devices (recording heads) cannot provide the flux density required to totally erase magnetic signatures. The magnetic information remains in the media after conventional erasing techniques and reformatting procedures. Only a high-energy magnetic circuit that provides a full-cycle (+ - + -) field can reliably erase this remnant magnetic information to a full security level.

Certified by the U.S. National Security Agency, the 1090 provides the maximum control in data protection for both standard density (325 oersted) and high-density (750+ oersted) media in 5-1/4, 3-1/2 and smaller floppy formats.

The model 1090 is a safe, fully shielded device. Unlike other degaussers with "bare" magnets, the 1090 cannot accidentally ruin other magnetic media that may be near. The 1090 does not require a skilled operator to insure proper declassification of the target data. A simple pass through the 1090 aperture insures complete, effective erasure.
