Everybody knows
software sometimes has
easter eggs, like the flightsim in Excel, or pictures of developers in
games.
But hardware has them too!
Not so long ago I read something about an easter egg in an HP scanjet. Apparently it only with the SCSI version of the 4P, and it goes like this:
- You need to disconnect it from the computer first! (thanks anotherone)
- Set the SCSI ID to 0(zero).
- Power down the machine
- Power it back up holding down the "scan" button.
- It will proceed to play "Ode to Joy" using variations in the scan-head motor
speed.
tftv256 says: it also works with my
parport scanjet 5100c. Just scratch the stuff about the SCSI ID and pull the plug instead of turning off.
Do you know any other hardware easter eggs?
