This sounds strangely similar to any of the loader formats
produced by cross-assemblers.  They (I know of Intel, Motorola,
and a 6502 spinoff) usually start with a pre-designated character
(':' for Intel), followed by destination address of rest of data,
length of record, the actual data, and a checksum (I may have
the order transposed).  All the information is xmitted in hex
aside from the attention character.

It might be nice to use some format which is a kind of standard.
Besides, I have machine language loaders for my C64 homebrew
terminal emulator which use all these formats...
