Are you going to throw us your draft for critiquing and fact-checking, or are you fairly confident with it as it is?

The following explanation is what I have in my tutorial about the send-acknowledge method (mirroring the OS's). Please comment/correct.

The Send-Acknowledge Method
In the send-acknowledge method, one unit begins the transmission by pulling one of the lines low. The line that has been pulled low first communicates the bit being sent. If the tip was pulled low first, then the bit was a 0. If the ring was pulled low, then the bit was a 1. Remember that the if one line is pulled low, both units see it as low. The receiver should then read out the value from the link port. Below is a segment of code to read and write to the link port.
Code:
When the receiver sees that the line has been pulled low, and successfully records the value of the bit sent, it proceeds to acknowledge the transmission by pulling the other line low. In the case of the above, the receiver will be pulling the tip low, since the ring is already low.
Code:
The sender should at this point be waiting for such a change in the tip line. This is done through looping the following code.
Code:
Once the sender sees the acknowledgement, then both calculators can proceed to release both lines. This is accomplished via the following code:

Code:
; Sending a bit, valued 1, out the link port
; Sender executes this
ld a, 2
out (0),a
; Reading a bit from the link port
; Receiver executes this
loop:
in a,(0)
; the value in the link port is in a.
bit 1,a
; sets the zero flag if the ring was low
jr z, Do_this_if_Ring_Low
; jumps if the ring was low

jr z, Do_this_if_Tip_Low
; jumps if the tip was low
jr nz, loop
; keep waiting if neither was lowWhen the receiver sees that the line has been pulled low, and successfully records the value of the bit sent, it proceeds to acknowledge the transmission by pulling the other line low.
