[sdiy] Extreme DIY?

[Scott Gravenhorst]

When I was in highschool, my brother was attending the Univ. of Illinois at
Chicago Circle campus where he used to sneak me into the computer center so
I could learn PL/1 and Fortran on the IBM 360/195.  Among other things,
they had an old IBM 1800.  Someone discovered that with the right
programming it would play music as well.  They had an AM portable radio
that when placed in the right spot would play the music from it, and it was
polyphonic...
