Downloading was approached in various ways. I quite liked the way the
Speccy vtx5000 did it  - it downloaded into program memory. You could drop
out of the ROM terminal and run it right off!

Is so long since I did this I forget how the different Beeb terminals
handled things.

I do have a standalone CET encoder for the Beeb if anybody needs it.  Will
produce static frames.

Apart from an exercise in silliness, it wasn't a particulary practicle CET
encoding example - how times have changed, but it still "works".

I think various decoders I did just wrote to a file at the time.

Sad thing: I can see a Technomatic 30MB RLL drive from where I am sat, it
was mainy plugged into a modified Electron AP5.
