I'm assuming anything can be interfaced to old tech. But if I had Twiggys I do have a
Lisa they could go into. Or I'd just sell them and buy something a lot more useful.
:)
What'd be cool if replicas could be made somehow. I don't know what all goes into
a disk drive but I imagine it's in the realm of possibility at least.

The problem is, what happens when the novelty wears off? I also
wonder what the long term value is as generations that experienced
these things pass on to those who've never known a day withot a smartphone.
That's a worry for another day though. For now.. I'm thinking about
grabbing a shovel and going digging for Twiggy gold at a certain dump
in Logan.
If you had a pair of Twiggys, but no Lisa, could you create a USB interface to use them on
a modern machine?
