"  +----------+
"  | start    |  1 (':')         hexRecStart

"  +----------+
"  | address  |  4               hexNoAddress, hexDataAddress, (hexAddressFieldUnknown)
"  +----------+
"  | type     |  2               hexRecType, (hexRecTypeUnknown)
"  +----------+
"  | data     |  0..510          hexDataOdd, hexDataEven, hexExtendedAddress, hexStartAddress, (hexDataFieldUnknown, hexDataUnexpected)
"  +----------+
"  | checksum |  2               hexChecksum
