This proves that bytes are being deposited properly. For the first 36 anyway, and with no announcement.

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.

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?

Turned the 6560 into an ordinary template, similar to the rest of the project, albeit right now with a fairly shonky internal implementation. Fixed a Mac-specific interface sizing issue.

Made a first stab at having automatic loading be optional. But things are currently arranged such that the machine options are communicated too late to have an effect. So work to do.

Converted the 6560 fully into a template; worked on allowing the typer to run at a much faster rate where hardware has some trigger by which it can request the next key.

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.

After all that, it seems likely that inputs just aren't inverted for the Vic.

Per the ROM disassembly, the Vic's VIA outputs are inverted for the benefit of the serial bus.

The inversion of truth was clearly just a problematic API. Got explicit. LineLevel might need to become more pervasive.

Okay, so the 1540 doesn't toggle the actual attention line. I don't know what it does yet but this helps.
