Apple 2 Disk Drive Sound Simulator

The Apple 2 Disk Drive Sound Simulator application was designed to be a small tool that does just what the title says: it simulates the sound of Apple 2 disk drives by playing back sounds I recorded of my Apple 2 disk drives in action.

In particular, Apple 2 Disk Drive Sound Simulator enables you to :

1. Play back any individual disk drive sounds you select,

2. Play back groups of disk drive sounds for a particular game (such as Apple Panic - a classic Apple 2 game). For these, the sounds have been grouped and sequenced to roughly simulate how a real Apple 2 disk drive sounds when loading the game.

3. Play Apple 2 disk drive sounds continuously at random - to annoy your friends, neighbours, kids, wife, etc. You could also play this to your parrot and see if you can get it to talk like an Apple 2 Disk Drive - now, there's an idea.

4. Or, play a group of sounds associated with numbers you have entered. e.g. Entering "0,1,4" in the User Defined Sounds box would play Apple_Panic_Start, Beep, and Grunt_Grind_2 sounds in that order. Simply click on an individual sound to see what number it is, (you can also play this sound on its own) and then enter this number in the User Defined Group box.
