Does anyone remember a clever little app that allowed IBM XT computers to play a song via the primitive PC Speaker that was installed in them? I think it was an ad jingle for some kind of room deodorizer called a Magic Mushroom? (I remember being blown away by it in about 1987. This was on green-screen XT computers, that normally only went "beep".)I even had a copy of it until about 5 years ago. Was a clever little com file, I don't remember anything about it and virus activity. But in those days a virus automatically infected anything executable.I'm trying to find out about it for a nostalgic presentation.
I got it about the same time as my first fractal generator.
