7359.0. "Multimedia for Prioris XL" by SUBSYS::MCCULLER () Thu Feb 20 1997 11:38

    I am trying to determine how best to bring a Prioris XL Server
    up to full multimedia. No such options (for sound) were available
    on the Prioris Configuration tool when we placed the order. As I
    see the options, it looks like we can 1) add an soundboard, such
    as the Ensoniq (or the current, available equiv) or add in the
    current multimedia kit (8x cdrom, sound, etc) such as we did for
    some Venturis FX's recently.
    
    Looking for some ideas..

7359.1Stories from the field..BSS::PROCTOR_RSniffing the floral arrangementThu Feb 20 1997 15:1818
    this reminds me of the company I consulted for/with a few years back
    (when NT first rolled out)..
    
    the department geek wanted to put sound cards on all the servers, and
    attach .wav files to certain events, such as CPU utilization achieving
    a threshold level, etc etc.
    
    four servers were thusly configured; and hooked directly to the
    loudspeaker system in the operator's area; the event was a nasally
    voice saying "My network is down.." (this, by the way over my
    objections) ...The first network outage we had was probably one of the
    funniest things I have ever seen or heard...
    
    
    The sound cards were pulled the following day... once our hearing
    returned!
