The responses I have received have either been along the lines of Terry's (above), or have been suggestions to toggle a status line from an RS-232 port and run it to an amplifier. I would really like a card to do this though. The normal magazines like PC Magazine and Byte do not seem to carry adds for this kind of thing. Are there catalogs out there, along the lines of Nuts & Volts, that promote the odds and ends of computing hardware? Please e-mail your responses to me, and I will post a summary to the net. Also, I am now becoming interested in *any* card that is capable of generating sound. Where is this kind of stuff advertised?
