Maybe I'm thinking of one of the other Fisher-Price bits of kit, then.

I've thought of another good one, the alarm on the patient monitor on a Datex Ohmeda S/5 Anaesthetic machine.

Which goes "do do do do" with the pitch slightly rising on each note and the period between them reducing slightly.

Anyone else like to recall "Hungarian Notation" ... or, for that matter, Backus–Naur Form?

Sorry to be sad ... but I know blokes who enjoy getting floppy disc drives to play (what sounds a bit like) classical music!

I reckon we could have hit on a whole new rich seam here, guys ... medical equipment ring-tones!

You got about 2mins worth I think.

That's more like it! Keep them coming, lads.

a bit off topic, but you can get a tune out of anything if you try hard enough

Just come across another merry little tune ... as the Storz Autocon 50 (ESU) fires up!

I don't suppose anyone has a manual for this one?
