Literally, no. Cassettes were still around, yes, but the next era of technology had already arrived. Earlier home computers used audio cassettes for data storage, but Amiga never did. It was part of the post-cassette technological wave. The hard drive inside that expansion is even the same mechanism and form-factor as spinning disks used today, and the SCSI command set is still used in SAS drives.
Posting it here makes sense from an aesthetic POV, since the case design fits reflects the cassette futurism look, before all computers turned black.
Well, There’s no true defenition of cassette futurism or IDK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I think any tech or media which resembles or from 70s or 80s fit this community. Feel free to post what you think is though.
That’s not cassette futurism. That’s just cassette.

Cassette Futurism is just name of genre like Steampunk, Cyberpunk or Dieselpunk
You’re telling me that a picture of a regular steam locomotive fits into Steampunk, or that a regular 18-wheeler fits into Dieselpunk, and I disagree.
This ad for a regular technological device of the cassette era does not fit into cassette futurism.
