   I wonder if anyone has made a USB PC speaker.

   It'd be one of those 2-3" speakers, only bleeps, and it comes inside a reverberant metal box

     @foone I have a USB-ISA bridge around somewhere that can theoretically do that (but it needs proprietary drivers for an obsolete kernel that are download restricted by a serial number I don't have)... Let's build a whole old PC out of USB! Like one of those flight simulator cockpits!

     @foone Pretty sure it was that one, maybe. By Arstech.

     Looks like it wasn't a serial, just a download link I didn't have... I found the downloads (including special DOSBox) in a Vogons thread after looking again... Software last updated in 2013. 😌
