I'd also be interested if anyone has this program.

I cant realy remember where i got it from but try ftp funic.funet.fi.
It's also on the Horn disk # 6.
I have imported sound directly from my Commodore64 without any convertation.

Actually you can make the hp48 controll just about anything with
the right interface. A few years ago in Ciarcia's mag: Circuit Cellar
Ink, they described a module that received IR from the hp48 and could
control other devices with PIA (periferal interface adapter). More
recently in Electronics Now, there was a module described that
received rs232 and had 24 bits of i/o, could run stepper motors,
had an internal pulse counter, timers and ADC. The kit was $99, from
Facinating Electronics
Box 126
Beaverton, OR 97075-0126 1-800-683-kits
I have no connection with the company except as a satisfied
customer.
Hooking this up to a voice synthesizer should be easy. You
do lose a little portability though.

Well, it DOES exist!
There's a program 'out there', that makes your HP say:
'Zis is your fortyeight speaking'
The 'zis' is not a typo, but merely and indication of what I hear when
I press the button!
Again, it's out there, and is on one of the Goodies disks.

There do exist a program that plays digitized sound (including talk).
Play is the name of the program and its on the Horn disk # 6.
I have sampled my own voice through my Commodore 64 and sent it to the HP48
to use with the Play program.

Tomas, would you please share how? Myself, and probably three or four
others here have a C64 somewhere... I don't know if it still works, but
I could try... :-)

samples on a IBM PC.
So one can use samples from a IBM PC to.
The Quality on the commodore64 samples is POOR but it's still impressing.

About a year ago I connected a microphone with a little Schmitt trigger
circuit to an IR LED and shined it on the serial io port.
With a mc recording program I both recorded and played back
1 bit digitized sound. The technique is similar to the way we
did it on the old APPLE][ from the cassette input.
The problem with the red-eye was LF bandwidth is very limited and the
sound was not very good. Switching over to the wire port would be
an improvement and would only require a rs-232 level converter
instead of the IR LED and a very slight change to the mc program.
I never finished this, but I still have the code laying around on my HD.

voice sample, you could leave your calculator on in the library and
would-be-thieves would be quite surpirsed to hear "Please step away from
the calculator". I even hear the Kraftwerk-like samples now.
Seth Arnold
Not a bad idea, except that the way tricorder works, you would here
that annoying thing all the time. I could easily integrate it for
anyone interested....
Just send me your sound sample, and a way to play it. Of course, it
could also alter the screen, or do anything else that is
programmatically withing reach of the 48...

I don't know about everyone else but when I tried tri-corder it only
worked if I was within a few inches of an object (very few) And
I believe that was pretty fresh batteries.
Here's something funny I thought of: Go up to someone and let it start
beeping and ask them if they have had x-rays taken lately: If so
say " Oh OK that explains it" and walk off..

How about this: Put a book or s.th. else in front of your calculator and check
the IR of your HP. If the book is in front of the calc it will get it's own ir
signal back: do nothing. If s.o. removes
the calculator (or the book) the HP wouldn't get it's own signal back: now
play the sample "Help! I don't like your slimy fingers!".
You could make a CST menu or customize your keyboard. Then you can easily turn
on and off the anti-thiev-prog.

This is more of what I had in mind in the first place. I suggest the
Kraftwerk-like-sound, because they presumably take up less space. Also, I
think it would sound stupid-fresh.

This alarm idea sounds great. But why not make it some sirene? I mean,
programming one isn't that difficult (a simply FOR loop doing some
BEEP's will suffice), it's (thus) small and it will be more effective
then digitized sound (to big) or some melody. Of course the program
will have to have an "off switch" that can be easily found (if the
alarm goes of by accident or something). ;-)
