And this reminds me of when I accidentally figured out playing MOD sound files in DOS 6 with a new and especially beautiful STM/MOD player at the time would sound considerably better from my 486's PC speaker if I pressed the pause/break key to literally lock up the system. Apparently the player would buffer enough of the song that even though everything froze up, the sound would continue playing. I couldn't afford a dedicated Soundblaster/Gravis sound card but I still pined to hear all the amazing music coming out from the demo scene. The quality of course wasn't comparable to a dedicated soundcard but it was still a huge improvement over the typical beeps/bloops of the built-in PC speaker.
