In the October 1987 issue of PC Resource, there was an article on making a volume control for the PC. If anyone likes, I can type in the plans (I don't think we need the whole article: "Get a 25-watt soldering iron. Heat it up. ...") for it. I built one for my computer from their instructions, and it works fine. (Actually, it has a tendency to buzz a bit at times (I suspect a loose connection), but I don't really feel like opening up my computer again and checking everything out again. It works fine most of the time, and when it doesn't, it's nothing a good tap on the side won't fix.) -- Marc Unangst UUCP smart : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us UUCP dumb : ...!uunet!sharkey!mudos!mju UUCP dumb alt.: ...!{ames,rutgers}!mailrus!clip!mudos!mju Internet : mju%mudos@cardiology.ummc.umich.edu
