- rbanffy 11y agoNow that you mentioned it, the printer directly prints the decimal number in the accumulator, so it's unlikely it could print lyrics. We could, however, build a music-box-like device that would "print" the accumulator as pair of pitch/duration notes, a "sound impression device", or SID. That would certainly drive future historians nuts.
