Do the other Mac machines (Mac SE, Mac Plus) support alternate SysBeep sounds via the control panel, or is this a feature unique to the Mac II? Is there any way this could be added? --Rich

CheapBeep works with the 512KE, Plus, SE and II (any machine running System 4.1 or later). It is a cdev just as is Apple's, but goes one step further in that it allows you to select a range of sounds which it will cycle through for alerts. It uses SoundCap files. I would post it to the net, but don't have BinHex4 (I use BinHex5 to deHex things). It is currently posted to Compu$erve along with a folder of sounds.
