That's intriguing, but still depends on a fair amount of translation/etc.

How much material are we talking about, anyways?  If it was megabytes,
I'd see more reason to go to the trouble than if it was just kilobytes.

Another thought is the parallel user port, if you could hack the IBM to
receive a parallel 8 bit signal and you had the patience, you could
make an interface like that.
