Emne: [Coco] Music with Floppy Drives & Hard Drives

Hi Everybody!

I came across this subject quite by accident while researching something
else.  I found some videos on YouTube about people making music with the
Ardunio Uno and the Ardunio Duemilanove by interfacing the direction pin 18
and the step pin 20 of 3.5" floppy drives to the I/O pins of the Ardunio.
The link showing how to do this is below.

Here is a link to an example of what I'm talking about using 13 3.5" floppy
drives playing Popcorn - Hot Butter!

It is both hilarious and amazing! I was so enthralled by the 3.5" floppy
drives making music, that I probably killed an hour or more watching various
videos using both 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives and some hard disk drives
making music as well.  It is fantastic!  In my wildest dreams of using
computers, this has never crossed my mind.  

If I can find my Ardunio that I stored away when I didn't know what it was
(that's another story), I plan to do this myself.  

You can actually hear the musical notes coming from the stepper motors
moving the Read/Write Head assemblies!  

I'd like to see someone do this with a Coco.  It would make a great
demonstration of yet another thing the Mighty Color Computer can do.  

How about let's all start a contest sometime soon after the current contests
are completed and see what We can accomplish.  It will be a lot of fun!

Kip
