Non-sequitur. The discussion target was the old recording technology, not the
modern half (Apple //e) of the scenario.
Oh, I see. I though we were still talking about loading software into the
Apple...
My original commnet (using a carbon microphone) was intended to imply
coupling that microphone to the stylus of the cylinder player and using
the change in resistance of the carbon granule assembly to transfer data
into the computer...

Piezo transducer? To do this properly you have to use an electromagnetic
driver for recording and a carbon microphone for reproduction. Anything
else is cheating.
.. To do it properly, only acoustic energy is permitted, no electricity allowed.
