Love it. Conceptually identical to the old TRS-80 cassette tape interface. And even preserves the sensitivity to sound artifacts. Am beginning to think DOS will rise again. FreeDOS graphics mode is just as much fun to play with as PICO-8. 256 colors, 320 x 200 resolution. With modern techniques like AI Upscaling, and DOSBox emulation in browser. It doesn't seem too far fetched to say this is a viable development platform even in 2020 ;)

- cat199 6y agoa 64bit DOS flavor with VT-x/SVM shim could be very good for 'cloud'
- graton 6y agoI remember having a TRS-80 Model I and using the cassette tape to load and save programs. I'll be honest it was a very happy day when I finally got a floppy drive!
