DiskTalk 1.0 (1 Nov 1989)
--------------------------
In a long (endless) line of Amiga hacks I present : DiskTalk.
DiskTalk will monitor disk activity and whenever a disk is ejected or
inserted it will play one of two samples. The effect can be hilarious.
Because it's the year of batmania I have included two appropriate samples.
Just try the program out by double-clicking its icon.
CLI USAGE:
"1> Run DiskTalk <diskin sound> <diskout sound>"
WB USAGE:
Click the icon once, use the 'Info' command in the 'WorkBench' menu
and enter "SOUNDS= <diskin sound> <diskout sound>" in the tooltypes.
NOTE:
- The samples are loaded in chip memory, so this program can limit
multitasking a lot. But remember, it's only a hack.
- You can use your own samples very easily, just save them as an IFF file.
- Raw samples can also be read, but they will always be played at 10KHz.
- The effect is a zillion times funnier if you leave DiskTalk running and
you forget it's there.
- Use the close gadget to quit or send a break command (CTRL-C).
- You can crunch the soundfiles with PowerPacker (one of my utilities) to
save some diskspace (samples crunch VERY badly though, +-10%), DiskTalk
will recognize this and decrunch the files.
Have fun,
Nico.
