The Mac II does this also. It follows that the Mac IIx and IIcx should too,
probably the SE/30 as well. I think its pretty neat but perplexing if you
don't know what's going on. Apple really should distribute a program that
demonstartes the different "error" tunes so that a user knows that the tunes
mean something's wrong and doesn't think their Mac is just unusually happy to
see tham that day.
