Re: virtual mac on a windows machine?
True, but we're talking about emulating the PC speaker in the BIOS, which, obviously, isn't a bootloader; and the BIOS doesn't use any virtualization services--because I'm assuming that the makers of BIOS don't want to use
Re: virtual mac on a windows machine?
You can emulate the PC speaker in software, including bootloaders. Obviously the real question is who is going to do the work, and why. For virtual machines, though, this works; Macs don't have speakers either, they're just virtualised.
Re: virtual mac on a windows machine?
THat's definitely a problem, however if you want a good pc speaker you could always strip one out of an old machine, or just get a piezo however those are quiet.

Re: virtual mac on a windows machine?
Today's PCs may not come with a speaker, but I'd be willing to bet there are connections for one on the computer's mainboard, so you could easily add one if you wanted to.In my last desktop, the case had no place to mount a standard spe

Re: virtual mac on a windows machine?
Yes, beeping would work; but here's the problem: newer computers are coming out without PC speakers, so that option is not possible with the newer machines we have.

Re: virtual mac on a windows machine?
@Chris, that's a very bad idea to not purcahse a PC until the BIOS thing is taken care of. Do you realize that you, as a mac user, are running the UEFI firmware, which is, duh, inaccessible? Don't keep that oath; the BIOS inaccessibility is

Re: virtual mac on a windows machine?
Did you try command+f5? On a windows keyboard, that is windows+f5. Ctrl is ctrl, option is alt, and command is windows. Unfortunatly, on newer systems, the audible volume feedback isn't enabled, so you can't use that as a test.
