That's exactly what I was asking.  But you implied that the RX02 was 
MMFM, which, in my experience is not the case.

MFM is a (1,3) RLL code; MMFM is a (1,4) code.  AFAIK, RX02 is a 
combination of (0,1) for headers and (1,3) for data.  WHat the decoded 
clock and data bits actually mean is a separate issue.
