if you have a lab of terminals but only one or two have a working
sound card and speakers, it can make good sense.
I'm sure it did *at the time*...
But have you tried to find even an embedded nano board that has in-bridge-chip
audio codec's lately? Where 'lately' is now around ten years-plus? And
'speakers' have becoem tiny, effective - and also very cheap?
We've been chopping-off audio jacks on C3 & C7 MB for years to make quite decent
low-power 1U servers... too tall for the case otherwise.
PITA, that, but we don't use enough of 'em to order them 'unstuffed'.
first time i saw
that was a demo for something unrelated; we were in the real demo
before we'd realized what we'd done to get there.
ACK .. but time marches on, and there *must* be a few 'shareable' things more
current than SB equivalents. How / why not get those examples onto the web page
as add-ons if not more germane replacements?
DISCLAIMER:
My audio gear largely sez 'Marantz' on the front panel, some dates as far back
as 1968, only the CD drive is newer than 1975, and CD aside, has SQRT-FA to do
with computers. Still sounds sweet though.
