I dialed into the Microsoft BBS (the number listed on the back of that
little pamphlet thing that came with Windows 3.1 -- with the tech support
numbers on it) looking for something else, and found something called
PCSPEAK.EXE (or something similar).  I downloaded it, installed it, and
it lets you control how the speaker is toggled with interrupts.  Ah well,
I said, I shut down Windows, and when I restarted it, I got the "Tada"
music from my speaker.  Doesn't sound bad, but I'm still ordering my
SoundBlaster Pro {8^).
