I've been thinking... recently I acquired a ZoomFloppy and a uIEC/SD. These are quite modern electronics with microcontrollers, made exclusively to be used with old electronics like the Commodore PET and 64. There is even a Turbo Chameleon 64, ostensibly a cartridge to connect a VGA monitor to a Commodore 64, but in reality an FPGA on which you can just as easily load a MiniMig (Amiga re-implementation).
This juxtaposition of different eras of electronics is effectively an enormous anachronism, so the name that sprang to mind for this concept was "anachronics".
