Old hard drives... beep. I'd completely forgotten that part. Why did they make that beeping sound when you accessed them? Some sort of PWMed control of something? Heh, we used to joke that they were signaling our government overlords in morse code. Yeah, that used to be funny.
That was some serious nostalgia right there.
