#2This is so cool

#3What a bizarre, mostly useless; yet absolutely neat utility.
Of course, disk space is the immediate reason why it's so impractical.

I'm sure Apple has an ADB->USB dongle for $19.99 that you can use to connect a larger bit of storage.
Actually, did these guys have SCSI ports on the back? SCSI->USB or SCSI->TB4 would be an fun cable.

The link itself has the answers to your questions.

ADB -> USB is third-party only, somewhat rare, and they only support input devices like mice and keyboards (no storage). I don't think Apple ever made them. The only one I know of is the Wombat ADB-USB converter. (You can find plenty of converters that go the opposite way around, letting you plug ADB devices into USB.)
You can theoretically put anything you want on ADB, but you'd need drivers to do anything but mouse/keyboard, and Wikipedia lists the "actual" bitrate as 10 kbit/s.

#7Hi. I am the author of macflim.
This is the old video, I am finishing the techdemo that have sound, there is a video on youtube (https://youtu.be/YRe6I5AICJ0). I'll update the macflim.com website later today.
And yes, diskspace is one of the reason why it is impractical, but with a SCSI2SD, one can get 4 2Gb partitions on you mac for around $100.
And yes, it is bizarre and useles, hence absolutely necessary. If you have time, try the app, it is full of inside time-correct jokes.

#8Old Apple II’s and Macs will never truly die, they’re just too much fun. Emulation and FPGA solutions exist and once gone over, the hardware is very robust. Replace the old caps with tantalum, align the screen, and you’re set.

Yep. Emulation is good, but using the real hardware is magical.
Fun fact: the reason why macflim had no sound originally is that my SE30s have bad caps (like most), and no sound. So many people asked for sound that I had to recap those surface mount caps (ouch my eyes!) so I could actually hack a version with sound :-)
