    Yeah I figure someone would have productized something like this.

    really should do it in software (OS "driver" application and play through sound card. OS knows more about access patterns than LED and hence can better emulate), however, there's a limit to what it should sound like as SSDs are way faster than any hard disk in terms of seek, and there's only really so much one can do to emulation...what exactly should the emulation policy be?

    Then if it's done in software it's real easy to change the policy and sound!

      I don't think I need to get that to make my system sound "old" - it already does / is.

      FYI, this is still my DD PC:

      I do need to do something about my HDD situation on that machine, though - only around 900 MB of free space left on the 80 GB HDD.

      Oh, and for those of you who love old HDD sounds, here's this :

        I still run the noisy old scsi disks as much as I can. I am all for authenticity.....but not sure I'd buy that. I'm much more in favor of the 'gurgling' sound when I pop somebody with a quad-damaged rocket in GLQuake1.

          I'm still running period-correct drives in my old computers except for one (the one where I tried a SATA to IDE converter and found that it performs horribly - I don't think that computer is worth the $42 for the converter that's supposed to work with VIA chipsets). That computer had a quiet hard drive in it anyway.

            Need to make one that simulates the old Miniscribe 3425 including the platter spinning *LOL* (again, not sure what it should translate to its 80ms average access time *screeeeech*)

              ^Ah yes, the sound of spinning platters, can't leave that out either.

              FWIW, here's how my good ol' NetServer E800 used to sound before the mobo gave up the ghosts:

                that indeed sounded familiar, have a cheetah 10K disk as well, and sort of sounds like one of the disks...

                but you haven't lived until you heard the Miniscribe 3425... ah this brings back memories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P-pYMsTSKw

                  what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
                  by ChaosLegionnaire
                  so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                  i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                  Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB (Chassis SR) TV Repair Help - Distorted Subwoofer Sound and overall weird sound waveforms
                  by LEECH666
                  Good day ladies and gentleman!

                  I am currently trying to repair a Grundig Vision 9 37 9880 T USB LCD TV for a friend that has a weird audio problem. Basically everything works fine except for the heavily distorted sound when the Subwoofer module is connected and there is a buzzing sound coming from the PSU PCB.

                  This seems to be a rather rare TV so there is not much prior on topic help to be found however a service manual is available at the usual sources (Electro Tanya i.e.).

                  I think the PSU buzzing comes from one of the coils near the bridge rectifier but...

                  Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
                  by Christos Tsiligiannis
                  Hello to the forum.

                  My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

                  So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

                  To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

                  So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...
