This is somewhat reminiscent of the simple programmer Tony Nixon 
developed a few years back.  If I recall correctly, he encoded the 
clock and data bits within ASCII characters.  I don't know if he 
managed to achieve read-back, though.

I've got a copy somewhere but I think that there is an archive of 
Tony's old site somewhere . . . can someone chime in with a URL?
