To go even further, add a toggle switch to the outside of the case and run the wires through the switch. To be very neat about, assuming you don't need the turbo switch for much, unplug the turbo switch wires from the mother board and run the wires for the speaker through it. [I dont know if the last it possible, but it would be neat.] I wonder if this should have been in alt.hackers too. :) .-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-. .

Now, on my PDP-8, I did this by removing the gong from the ASR-33 :-) -- ---------------------------------------------------- Gordon S.

However, such programs won't (I assume!?) silence your computer during boot, which is when mine makes all the noise. There's nothing for it <sigh> but to splice in a switch on the speaker wires... -Ken > > DN -- miner@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu | Graecis ac barbaris, sapientibus et opinions are my own | insipientibus debitor sum
