I have to work with vintage Macs on a daily basis, and I've hear the car crash noise, the breaking glass noise, and the "chimes of doom." I've never heard the video game-like major chord sound that I heard today.
I have IIci that has decided to start behaving badly. When I powered it on, I got the normal startup chime followed immediately by a four note major chord. There wasn't even time between the two sounds to reset the PRAM. Anyway, it was so odd, I opened the case and started checking how everything was seated. When I reseated the cache card, the sound stopped occurring, but the IIci was still freezing after startup. Those of you who have read my other post know I have another IIci that won't start up at all. I swiped the cache card out of it and put it into my musical and malfunctioning IIci, and now it seems to want to work properly. I was hoping someone who sees this post could tell me if that chime is the symptom of a bad cache card, or if my "fix" was purely coincidental. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
