You're going to have fun using unchecked conversion (whether by
Unchecked_Conversion or overlay), considering that the data dumps are
indefinite length (EOX-terminated). Won't you just have to read 4 octets
at a time until EOX? (rather like an HTTP request).
I think I agree with Dmitry, "reading the octet stream or else what is
natural for the device or the protocol at hand, and then constructing
the necessary Ada objects on the fly".
