I think Pam Boss and others have done this.
Yes, I think they have. That's where I got the idea (SPAWAR).
It reminds me a little of the Precambrian era in microprocessor
programming when people put transistor radios on top of Radio Shack
Trash-80 computers to see if the program was stuck in a loop. When
the screen froze you would listen to see if the RF noise on the
radio was repetitive.
I had an Altair 8800, the "original home computer," built it from a
kit, before the TRS-80 was available. And when it had a grand total
of 256 bytes of memory (as the kit was sold), I wrote a program that
would play a tune through any radio close to the computer..... it got
better when I filled out the 1 KB on the motherboard, as I recall.
