Can anyone verify this?
"Anyone with an H-P ScanJet 5p can listen to a rendition of _Ode to Joy_
by unplugging the SCSI connector, setting the SCSI ID switch to some
number I don't recall (IIRC at the upper end of the range, probably
5 or 6), then turning the unit on while holding down the green SCAN
button. The tones are played by driving the stepper motor that moves
the carriage."
It came from this website:
