If someone wanted to simulate a vintage "slow 80GB hard drive running Vista with 512MB RAM" you could just record 30 second of solid hard disk access noise and have it play on a loop on a phone or music player the entire time you are using the system.
Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

Funny, but no, man. The noises do serve an actual function besides nostalgia.
I don't know. When a DOS machine boots up, I can hear the moment when himem.sys gets
loaded and checks the memory, and then when DOS goes on to load further files.
I don't want to have this replaced by random noise. It simply confuses me. Especially when I run Compress.
Either the real thing or silence. Hearing a relays clicking is nice (I love to tinker with them),
but in this case it is rather blasphemic. And no comment to the Vista thing. 😉

I have one of these (from somewhere else though) that, given the right voltage, can produce a buzzing sound similar to an old disk. Only requires power.
