discussion. I've thought about this *a lot* and have gone through
several iterations of what will or will not work given timing constraints.

hello,
there's much discussion about the right method to transfer data in and out.
Of course there are several methods, the right one must be carefully chosen
after some review of all the disk interfaces that must be supported. The idea

I think the issue is that you're thinking of somehow emulating the
formatted data. I'm working on just emulating the bit-stream as then
it'll work with any controller and sector/track layout so I won't
actually know what a sector really is (unless I do "hard sectoring"
