As other commenters have pointed out, this is a C64 controlling an MP3 player.

People old enough to remember the late 1990s / early 2000s might recall that back then it was popular, too, to hook up an external MP3 decoder, e.g., to the parallel port; so that the PC's CPU would not be at 100% just for playing MP3 music.

10BASE-T1S is more of alternative/replacement/upgrade to CAN and CAN FD, which use a single wire pair as bus, too. And automotive 100 MBit/s and 1 GBit/s Ethernet are also single-pair. (But they are point-to-point and therefore more expensive, as the article explains.)
