tldr:
Just managed to cram mechanisms for write, delete and sort, pre-browse of shulker boxes, pre-browse items and reset minecarts functions as well as I corrected the internal hopper setup for various hopper timing mechanics I've learned building the ROM version. Just (hah) the control wireing and software (big one) remains.
729 bit overwriteable browseable shulker box inventory-based memory, expandable in magnitues of x729
based on measuring stackable vs all-different non-stackable items
three hopper cycles: data, ones and zeroes
data and items are kept in shulker boxes in minecarts with chests which unpack and pack along their way down the device until everything resets when the bottom minecarts/the "copy" is launched up again.
items are written from the side cycles to the central one which stores the sequence
side cycles have 27 items each (27 1s and 27 0s)
data cycle either copies itself and is read, or its items are sorted back into the writing cycles at the same time as we're writing (ie overwriting)
will be written to and read at constant 1b/0.4s, there will be no gaps in the output when exchanging shulker boxes (ref ROM version)
you can browse to the shulker box of interest, then to an item and start writing (or overwriting) from that point
planned config will be this x4 because 10bps output could be streamed over 1 wire
