[sebhc] H8-5

[William Elkins]

While it is true the audio from a cassette player is not synced the
waveform that was recorded on the cassette was. Bit transistions
occured at zero crossing on the carriers. If your clock and pc uart
are running independantly your bit transistions will rarely occur at
zero crossing. At 1200 bps the available number of carrier cycles per
bit of data is one or two depending on which state the data line is
in. At 300 bps you get 4 cycles or 8 cycles and the phase relationship
between the clock and the data is less important.
