Sync: 5 pulses between $600 and $E00 clock cycles.
followed by 5 pulses between $300 and $700 clock cycles. 

Threshold: $200 clock cycles 
Endianness: LSbF 

After sync, data bytes, always a multiple of 256. No checksums. 

Structure: 

the start address and length (in units of 256 bytes) of first chunk are hard-coded in
 header chunk (Kernal loader). 

First chunk contains the loader routine, and the code that invokes it 
(and also displays/hides loading screen between chunks) 

the start addresses and lengths of all following chunks are hard-coded in the first chunk. 

Code in first chunk stores in $04 length of each chunk, modifies the loader routine 
with the start address, then does JSR to the loader routine. It does so for each 
of the following chunks, until loading is complete.
