Bringing sights and sounds back to solid-state drives -- in DOS!
Channel: The Oldskool PC

I wrote a program that lets you bring back hard drive noises and activity lights to any vintage computer running MS-DOS :-)  It's meant for solid-state drives that make no noise, and for people who nostalgically miss them.  In this video, I cover the genesis of the idea, demonstrate it, and go over some features.
