Steve Jobs tribute - Apple IIe

My personal tribute to the late Steve Jobs. The computer in the video is an Apple IIe, which was released by Apple Inc. in January 1983.

Using a PC, the photo of Jobs was converted to a monochrome dithered image, then converted to the textual format used by the Apple II monitor software (in ROM). The text file was then transferred through the PC's serial port, to the Apple's Super Serial Card (note the "APPLE SSC" prompt at the beginning) which effectively writes the image into the graphics memory.

Fast-forward to around 1:20 to skip the data transfer sequence.
