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.

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.

I've obviously misunderstood something as, as far as I'm concerned, this should at least get me a 'LOADING'.

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?

Added ability to query how long since the new interval was set to the timed event loop. Discovered that LCM will returning the net effect of the common factors only. Otherwise continued iterating towards time preservation.

Okay, it's becoming more apparent where the (very mild) complexity will be here. But started moving towards retaining rotation between tracks.

Made an attempt to add the necessary extension to Track, with a concrete implementation in PCMTrack, to support time-based seeking, the intended mechanism for not magically spinning the disk back to the index hole upon every head step.

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.
