Sought to emulate 0111 as a longer 0110 to test a particular HQ UEF. Some progress. Not great.

I need to get a bit more definitive on naming but this gets all the way to setting a configuration upon an Electron.

Made a quick first attempt at getting a file name from Acorn tape, failing terribly but at least formalising tapes being able to signal their end.

Addressed my dithering here: the file format containers themselves should do nothing but inspect the data to find out whether it is of the correct format. The machine steps are there for machine-specific validation. So it's probably easier to treat a binary ROM image just as a binary ROM image. Therefore, the Acorn-specific .rom detection is now in an Acorn-specific area.

Added hacky segue into analysis for all Electron formats. Added analyser to try to differentiate Acorn-format ROMs from other things called .rom, which are likely to be numerous.

ROMs definitely have no behaviour other than responding to memory accesses. Cartridges might. So picked the more general term. Sketched out a class at least to parse PRG as though it were a cartridge. Hence the static analyser can guess at whether a PRG is a cartridge or an ordinary program.

Turning this into a slog: gave UEF a more appropriate name, got as far as now having to decide what to do about ROMs as to structure. I guess they're machine specific, so specific classes?

This gets through loading the first(/only?) copy. I tried repeating it with a bit-flipped header, now I'm trying repeating the header with a different file type. More documentation searching to do, I guess.

Fixed parity: now calculated from the actual byte and works the other way around. The Vic now believes it is loading the actual program. So I guess bytes, headers and the lead-in is working.

Lengths I'd taken seem to have been for dipoles, not single poles. So I just doubled the clock rate. Also I was producing each dipole as high then low, when they should probably be low then high. The Vic now at least recognises that something is happening on the tape.

I'm starting to make a little headway, I think: this performs lead-ins and countdowns, though with no actual data or anything as helpful as that.

This likely forms the Commodore dipoles correctly. It just stays stuck in leader tone forever is all.

Made sufficient changes for the Vic itself to believe it can recast a PRG as a tape and insert it that way. So now the ball is in the court of: how the heck are Commodore tapes encoded?

Formalised clock-rate multiplication within disk drives, discovered that the stepper didn't have ideal behaviour for my timed event loop and hence nailed down the semantics a ilttle more.
(obiter: the 1540 now appears to discern the correct sequence of bits. Framing is off in my test printfs but that's neither here nor there).

Wired up the 1540 as a PLL delegate. Which prima facie means it should start receiving a bit stream. Except that I clearly have something in the timing way off — either my flux transitions are far too short or I need to significantly increase the clock rate on the PLL.
