Musical ScannerA normal computer scanner can be programmed to play music, amazing if a bit old.  Using an HP ScanJet you too can download the source code to play music at http://www.ganjatron.net/misc/scanjet/ That's right. The HP ScanJet 4c's SCL (Scanner Control Language) command set includes an unofficial PLAY TUNE command. The PLAY TUNE command basically varies the stepping rate of the scanner motor to produce audible frequencies. All it needs is a series of note frequencies and durations previously written to its SCSI buffer. The ScanJetPlay utility resulted from my efforts in trying out this easter egg.
