Phoenix POST beep codes?

Does anyone have a list of the beep codes for semi-recent Phoenix BIOS, or
more specifically the Zeos CoralMax BIOS version 8?  The code I'm getting
is "ba-dah, bap bap", or beeps of counts 1 4 2 2.  Unfortunately, Zeos
didn't see fit to include the POST beep information in the manuals.

My Zeos Pantera 90 (CoralMax MB) has stopped working, deciding to just beep at
me instead of doing anything useful.  I can't figure out what I did to
break it; I was just installing a SCSI CD-ROM drive.  I had the cable
connected to the drive and fed it through the drive bay before connecting
it to my host adapter, so I thought maybe I had knocked something loose,
but I've tried reseating the cables and SIMMs and nothing seems to work.
I've even tried removing everything but the video card and two SIMMs, but I
get the same behavior.  Removing the video card, same.  If I remove all the
memory it doesn't beep, but I don't regard that as a positive sign.

Thanks,
Jason
