I have an Atari 2-Mb Mega-ST which I mainly use as a terminal to a VAX via
Simon Poole's 'Uniterm'. As I'm in an office with other people I usually keep
the volume control on zero. Occasionally I start to hear a faint click when I
press a key & a 'ting' when I hit the editor's buffer end.
Of course, I can turn off key-click & bell from the control panel, but it is
intriguing (worrying, even!) that the sound system has a 'mind of its own'.
Anyone else come across this or know what it's up to, or have I just got a
quirky ST?
