The system console on the 1900 series had a built-in speaker that clicked
whenever a particular instruction related to a context switch was executed.
We had a program that would play the Close Encounters alien theme on the
speaker... if you ran it at a sufficiently high priority (and irritated all
the users).
Does anyone know of earlier *dedicated* sound hardware than this on any
computer? IIRC the 1900 series was c. 1965.
