Check out this
site which I found through
slashdot.org. An
interesting use of those old beasts as musical instruments.

And I thought using printers for music went out with the old
line printers of the (50's? and ) 60's! :-)
Surely you jest! We were playing "Row-Row-Row Your Boat" on our
Dataproducts LPM300 well into the 1980s...
In fact, I have the "music" on the [dead] Prime at home, just
no line printer to play it on!
And I'm sure you've all heard the Commodore Drive Music program that
plays music by banging the 1541 disk drive's heads around. It's a
remarkable rendition of "Daisy, Daisy" :-)
