                 0208 FF = 00 35 02 08 FF 00
                 0505 EF = 99 35 05 05 EF 00
                 1050 FF = 13 35 10 50 FF 00
                 FE55 31 = 00 35 FE 55 31 00

Got it! the first data byte seems to grab the pods attention, often a 00,
but perhaps (?) not that important, but it certainly looks like a Clean (no
other read action in front) Read is "35" then the address and the resulting
data. It appears that multiple reads change the communication with the pod
in the sense that if you take two reads (different locations) in a row the
command string is different. Stay tuned this evening when I dig into more
reads and test the writes.
