| 1. A method carried out by at least one detector and a processor for processing stored data read from a storage medium in
which the data is stored in a lattice arrangement of symbols, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) generating an estimate for each symbol in a linear dimension in a first detector;
(b) generating an estimate for each symbol in a different non-orthogonal linear dimension in a second detector; and
(c) generating a decision for a symbol at the intersection of the dimensions using all estimates in the processor.
