- 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,
