And while we
are at it, put one of the music programs on the PDP where
you put an AM radio near it as the output device!
I thought that was the Altair.
It was Dompier's altair, at some meeting. The TX-0 also played music, but
that was through a speaker. And I'm pretty sure the 11s had some sound
capabilities besides ^G...
I do not know about PDP-11s, but PDP-12s (and LINC-8s, I think), have a
speaker connected to the LSB of the accumulator (volume knob provided, of
course). Additionally, the LINC-8 has a bell that chimes when the halt
instruction is executed.
For funding a museum, why not cut an album of all of your favorite minis
in action? Sure to go to the top of the charts...
