Incidental sound used to be used as a computer diagnostic tool. The Ferranti Pegasus I and the Elliott 803 and 903 computers all had speakers which were used to "listen" to the computer executing code, and on the Pegasus I it was sometimes used to produce music. Even the 920M which was an IC version of the Elliott 903 computer made for the military had a facility for one. There is the guy who hollowed out an DIP ATtiny84 and put four LEDs and four momentary switches inside the extra space around the IC to make a Simon clone. It only needs power and a couple of pins for a speaker.
Eventually - in one form or another. Next step is getting the floppy controller running and then the software will move into DOS-land. Maybe a boot sector program first.

I saw that one! That'll certainly give me a run for it.
Amazing in such a small package!
Well done!!!
Hehe. Pretty awesome stuff. I bet you get a few finger indentations playing that for a while :-)
Maaaybe it'll be time to print that Uno case eventually :D
Hi Score in hex is the nerdiest thing I've seen lately 😃
Thank you :D I think 🤓
Hi, will you ever return to the "bios/pong" asm project?
