WALL-E connecting to EVE !

Apple IIe and iPad

I’m 8-bit computer Fan, and obviously an Apple //e fan ! 3 years ago, I switch from a f…..g PC to a Macbook Pro. To manage the updates of this blog, I’m using a FTP file transfer named: Transmit 4 (from Panic Software).

Today, I found on their Blog a cool email post where there is an Apple //e connected with an iPad. The iPad is used as a cassette interface with the Apple //e.

Panic Blog says:

« I just saw some photos of your office and couldn’t help but notice an Apple //e. I have an odd request. Back in 2005 I created a music video for the band Grandaddy by programming a text animation on an old Apple ][+. You can see the video here.

It’s an obvious solution in retrospect, but there is something very unreal and amazing about tapping a button on a multi-touch screen and watching an Apple //e fill up with data — to quote Andy Baio, “that’s like WALL-E connecting to EVE.”

People have already did that with also a Zx Spectrum and an iPod or an Atari 2600 and any sound player too.
