mmmh so you are saying that its indeed simply about taking the bytes written 
to the 8706 data register, eventually swapping nibble- and bit-order, and then 
reading variable number of bits from the resulting bit stream? uhmz. i spent 
some hours the other day doing exactly that on paper, and couldnt really see 
how that should work. i can see the first "0x0a" of the data, and then the 
next value is wrong already, no matter how i swap and shuffle bits around. 
*shrug* :)

yeah, we have the actual parcor synthesis running (more or less, needs 
refinement).
