hhhmmmm... - particularly if it's got an ami bios, the three beeps
probably denote a base 64k error, meaning an error was detected in the
first 64k of ram. not that knowing this helps...

if you got the same error when setting the machine back to it's
original config, there's probably something you missed. did you adjust
the bios accordingly ?? 

what sort of mainboard is it [manuf./model] ??
