@eric makes inferior product, much too quiet!
How will users know if their device is working if they cannot hear it? Electric cars require sound so users know "ok, it is working!". Same, Same.
Please see below for proof, Redscsi much better, much louder!

Nice!

I tried adding a transistor and a 5V relay to the I/O pin for the activity LED to make clicky noises for the same purpose. Was not successful. Somehow screwed up my first bluescsi in the process.

This board is the newest revision with headers just for this and resistors. The pins put out about 3v (from what I recall).
There are some things I have been experimenting with including small solenoids. Maybe now I will add a bell? Ding ding!

Just for fun: build into an empty Miniscribe 8425SA housing keeping the steppermotor and rotate the flag based on the seek commands...
Maybe doable?
